AGVs not using the elevators

Hi @Felix Möhlmann ,

In another model with similar concept but different layout, I tried to copy what was done in the previous model but it seems like I could not make it work. The AGVs were seen to be travelling on the path instead of the elevators. I am not sure if working with planes would be causing more troubles as well as the control points are often easily misplaced.
May I request for you to point out what I could have done wrong and the way to resolve this?

Thank you very much Felix!

The "floorZ" labels on the redirectCPs contain string data instead of number data (you can tell these apart by the alignment of the value inside the cell: string data is aligned to the left, numbers to the right).

This causes the check whether an AGV needs to use an elevator to not work correctly.

There are also unconnected control points at various points in your model. (Example on Level 4 of the West Wing)

Thank you @Felix Möhlmann for your reply!


I have done the amendment, but on the WestL7 plane, the AGV is still traveling on the connecting path and it would have an error to go back to the kitchen queue which I am unable to solve. Would appreciate your guidance on this. Thank you!

Could you upload your updated model please? It's difficult to find out what might be going wrong without having the same model.
