Problem with network node route

Hi all Flexsim experts,

I want the transporter 3 to move in the direction as the red arrow below pointed for item picking, then moving the same direction back to the quene.

But now the transporter 3 is moving in the wrong direction as shown in the video below.

I tried changing the connection type between node 6 and node 29 to Non-Passing, but it didn't work.
How could I fix this problem? I have attached my model for reference. Any help would be appreciated.Thanks.

FlexSim 23.1.0

Change the transporter option from use the navigator for offset travel to instead travel offset for unload tasks. Currently the navigator seems to ignore the station connection and chooses what it thinks is the closest node to the place offset location for the item, so as the queue fills NN29 becomes closer to the item's place position than NN20 (to which is is connected)

Also - you might want to remove one or both of your model backgrounds from the model - they are causing a significant amount of z-fighting.

@Jason Lightfoot Hi Jason thank you for your advice. The reason I set the transporter option to use the navigator for offset travel is to let the transporter travel to the nearest node of the slot for more accurate travelled distance data. So, I am wondering that is there any other ways to fix this problem?

Can you make the queue smaller and located closer to NN20?

@Jason Lightfoot Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. The queue 1 is already located pretty close to NN20 in my model. Could you clarify more? Thank you.
