Hi @Jenson,

It seems that currently your model is set up so that the only location available for patients to acquire is "Chairs1". If you want people to travel to different locations you will need to add the different locations. One way to do this is by creating a group of locations that includes both chair locations, and then having the locations resource reference this group.

Hi @Jenson,

Here is a model that uses two elevators and has two locations that can be used by the patients.

hi @Jacob W2,

My model requires 2 lift to be opposite of each other rather than be it side by side

@Jenson, All you have to do is add another elevator across from the first and make sure it is added to the A* navigator.

@Jenson ,have you tried to rotate in quick property panel the elevator bank object by 180 degree for matrix value rz. If an elevator bank has not got a defined entry, you can place barrier objects around it to create a defined entry.

Or you can place a waiting line object to the entry side.
