You can try loading files directly into LabVIEW if they are saved in the VRML or STL file format. If you can get to these file formats you can load the models using "Load VRML File.vi" or "Load STL Geometry.vi". If you cannot get to this file format then you can use Active X containers to load models. Please look throught the below articels to look at both the restrictions of VRML files as well as information on Active X.
