I’m a new user & installed kicad today.
Version: (5.1.10)-1, release build

My 3d models not working. Only footprints shows. How to solve this issue?

Are you sure?
Not all footprints has 3D models.

This is a 3mm LED. It shows only footprints. All other components same.

In KiCad there are a lot of links to 3D files which do not actually exist. The Idea is that 3D models can be added easily without modifying the footprint libraries themselves.
So I had a look at (hopefully the same) but maybe just similar footprint:

Comparing the name of the 3D models however, they are not the same.
Your’s on top, mine below:

$KISYS3DMOD}/LEDs.3dshapes/LED_D3.0mm.wrl
$KISYS3DMOD}/LED_THT.3dshapes/LED_D3.0mm.wrl

The plural form of the library name is a strong indication that you are using libraries made for KiCad V4.

Many thanks. It worked.

I deleted the libraries as you mentioned and added manually. It worked nicely.
By the way I downloaded the latest “KiCad 5.1.10” & it has set paths for old libraries.

Thanks for the support.
