importrobot stopped adding visual shapes (in stl format) (2022a)

I have a simscape model that I work with, I could import the robot from this file along with the visuals earlier. But recently the visual shapes don't get added. The shapes are in stl format and in the same path as the simscape file. I upgraded to 2022a recently and I'm not sure if that's when it stopped adding the visuals.

Hi @DEEPAK JOGI,

Visual mesh data for URDF files shipped in MATLAB now ships in the Robotics System Toolbox Robot Library Data support package. Please download and install this package and you should be able to view those STL files corresponding to the meshes. Alternatively, you can use loadrobot to construct the rigid body tree object.
