Hi LionelI tried the following two methods -&nbsp;1) The image on a local path (ie. my desk top)2) Posting the image on a SharePoint site (to which I have access as well)&nbsp;Unfortunately both did not work.&nbsp; The image did not show up.&nbsp; I did indicate Under the 'modelling tab' as Image URL.&nbsp;&nbsp;
