Answer 1

I also had faced the similar issue in the past.

I did bellow changes to resolve the issue.On mac Anaconda python=3.6.8

import keras
import pydotplus
from keras.utils.vis_utils import model_to_dot
keras.utils.vis_utils.pydot = pydot

plot_model(your_model_name, to_file='model.png')

That's worked for me.
