Conveyor Routing Bug

Hello,

For some reason sometimes FlexSim doesn't choose the shorter route when moving items through conveyor. But, when you disconnect the longer path then it chooses the shorter route. To illustrate, FlexSim chooses the red route instead of the blue route except when the red route is disconnected. Attached a model to show what I mean1669743631560.png

Thanks in advance

I believe by default, without any routing input, items will always use the last transfer point on any conveyor.

If you explicitly send the item to the upper conveyor, it will take the shorter route.
