Connecting a TE on a plane to a Control Point

Hi,

I found that connecting a TE on a plane to a Control Point removes the TE from the plane's subnodes. Is this the FlexSim spec? Is it possible to keep the tree relationship between the TE and the plane?

Thanks in advance.

My FlexSim Engine version is FlexSim 2023.0.11.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.0.10

If you connect the TE to a control point that is not in the plane, then the TE should move into the model instead of the plane. Are the control points and TE both in the plane?

Yes. Both in the plane. I attach the model. Are there any bad operations?

AGVs reside in the model - not in the hierachy of containers - you can't change this.

The AGVnetwork is built to calculate all of its routing in relation to the model, so the TE is purposefully is moved to the model upon connecting to the control point. It probably shouldn't teleport to the model floor once connected, so I have reported this to the dev team. But even with the TaskExecuter technically being in the model space instead of the plane, it is still able to travel along the plane path and interact with objects/locations within the plane, as shown here:
