When added a USDZ file to the three.js editor it loads into the scene and I can see the gizmo to control it but I can not see it and there is no materials tab connected to it.

Do you mind sharing the problematic USDZ asset in this topic?

Of course!  
Though I have tried many I will share one from sketchfab.

Thank you!

That file appears to have USDC scene while three.js only supports USDA.

You can at least view it with the [online USDZ Viewer](https://www.usdz-viewer.net/).

There is also another online [USD Viewer](https://usd-viewer.glitch.me/?file=) that can show it as well but also provides a useful workaround. You could drop your USDZ (USDC) model and then export it as a GLB file which can then be used in three.js editor to export it as USDZ (USDA) file.
