Hello,
I'm running through the Stewart Platform example from the MATLAB website using the associated downloaded files (link below). I want to create the visualisation as detailed in the Simulate and Visualize the Model in the tutorial, but I'm unable to do so.
I cannot find Mechanical Environment Settings (aka Machine Environment Settings), which I think I need to access the visualisation options, and so create a 3D model of the Stewart platform.
I think the problem is knowing which block to select within the programs in order to access the Mechanical Environment Settings. How can I identify which block I need to select in order to create a 3D visualisation of the stewart platform?
Many thanks, Ian.

I could look into this. Others might be able to do without the extra information, but I would like to know the release you are using and the products installed.

Sorry it took me a while. The referenced model was created with as release 20 releases ago. So a lot of changes occured in the meantime. I was actually ver happy to see it actually did run for me.
Specifically, the settings you are looking for moved into the main Model Configuration Parameters menu:
Menu -> Simulation -> Model Configuration Parameters -> SimMechanics 1G -> Visualization
