So I'm using a plugin in mc called ExecutableItems where you can create custom items, blocks, tools etc. And with it you can upload your own texture pack to use on those said items.

What I'm trying to do is view those custom textures as a held item in BB, that way I can see clearly what transformations/scaling is needed.

How would I try to accomplish this?

Blockbench: Texture To 3D

Depending on where you wanna have the model there are different ways to turn a texture into a (default-item like) model:
java 1. Letting the game generate it from a texture (vanilla Java)
bedrock 2. Directly adding a new item (Bedrock Edition)
blockbench 3. Letting Blockbench generate it (ONLY use this if the other options are not applicable!!!)

** java 1. Letting the game generate it from a texture:**
Create a .json file somewhere inside your models folder and put this code inside of it:

{
  "parent": "item/generated",
  "textures": {
    "layer0": "custom/example"
  }
}``` This will tell the game to generate a model based on the texture `YourPack/assets/minecraft/textures/custom/example.png`.
(Use `item/handheld` as parent instead if you want it to be held like a weapon).

It can be used just like any other model, so you can either replace an existing item with it or "add" it with custom_model_data. You can also load it into Blockbench to edit the display settings.

Please follow the steps described in here:
Default like items: <https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/items-intro.html>
Custom 3D model items: <https://wiki.bedrock.dev/items/3d-items.html>

** ![blockbench](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/340506781111549957.webp?size=128 "blockbench") 3. Generating it in Blockbench:**
ONLY use this approach if you plan on editing it more than what the other option allows you to do!!!
You need to make sure to use per-face uv (_not_ box-uv!) and then do `File > Import > Extruded Image` and select your texture. Then, pick the way it should generate the texture. You can chose between pixel by pixel, line by line (horizontal/vertical) or in as little chunks as possible (area). 
I suggest to always use area for performance. If you wanna edit each pixel/line choose one of the other options.
