3D Slicer has an Endoscopy module ([Endoscopy — 3D Slicer documentation](https://slicer.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user_guide/modules/endoscopy.html)) that can help you with this.

I tried endoscopy on my model but it turned out like this.Is there anything wrong with my model?

From the picture I understand that you have done a sort of segmentation for the centerline and placed a fiducial. I would think you need a better way to define your fiducials along the centerline. You can try the suggestions given by @lassoan in this post ([Virtual Bronchoscopy - #7 by lassoan](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/virtual-bronchoscopy/7468/7)) for extraction of the centerline as a curve and giving this as an input to the Endoscopy module.
