How can report developers view the tabular model star schema?
Hi Anonymous ,
I didn't meet your problem, and my version is 2.87.923.0 64-bit (November 2020).
Please update your Power BI Desktop.

v-lionel-msft , Thanks for your reply. I am having trouble downloading and installing Power BI Desktop November 2020. Once I have installed that I will check.
I have installed Power BI Desktop November 2020, and it does indeed have the Model tab available.
The default Model tab, All tables, showed an error "The all tables view has been disabled." This is due to the tabular model having more than 50 tables. This limit can be increased by creating and setting an environment variable called PBI_diagramTableThreshold. I create this PBI_diagramTableThreshold environment variable and set it to 999, and the All tables Model tab did indeed display a model diagram of all the tables and their relationships.
The Model tab also allows you to create another tab where you can drag and drop a fact table onto the page. You can then right-click the table on the diagram view and select "Add related tables". The diagram will then update to show all the dimension tables that have relationships to the fact table.
Curious why this feature was not available in Power BI Desktop (May 2020)
