@akshith vashala another option is to add an image by inserting a plane.

Hi @akshith vashala,

Could you upload your image file so that we can try and import it using our computers? It's hard to tell what's happening in your model based on a screenshot. If your file cannot be shared publicly, you can post a private question and then only FlexSim U.S. can see it.

Hi @akshith vashala

Were you able to import the model background? Let us know if you still need assistance.

I tested it with 18.0.2 and I haven't got any problems Please try it with these files:

Edit: Please upgrade to the latest LTS version 18. FlexSim 18.0.9 works for me.

There may be some suggestions in the article Graphics Compatibility - Common Problems and Solutions that will help solve the problem.

Also be sure your graphics hardware meets FlexSim's minimum requirements and has the latest driver installed.

@akshith vashala, I tested your question with 18.0.9. There isn't any problem. Are you sure you choose the option to upload a .png or .jpg file as a background image, instead of the default settings when you open the visual background tool?
