The arrow to extend the length of the transfer point is missing

Hi I realised that the two red arrows which allows the transfer points of conveyor is missing on 2023 update 1. Is it being hidden?

Those arrows now seem to only exist for exit transfers. Changing the size of an entry transfer wouldn't make a difference since the item always enters the conveyor at the Distance Along of the transfer anyway.

Hi @Felix Möhlmann

I am also checking at my end, but the resizing arrows of an exit transfer were not seen in my model.

What could be the reason?

I only get the arrows for transfers that were created at the side of the conveyor. If I create them at the end and move them to the side, the arrows are indeed missing.

Not sure if this would be a bug or intended behaviour.

It looks like this is a bug since the 'isAtSide' transferPoint attribute is not being un/set when moved from/to the conveyor side. To change it without recreating the transfer you can run a script similar to this:

Object exitTransfer=Model.find("ExitTransfer1");
node("transferPoint/1+/isAtSide",variables(exitTransfer)).value=1;  //or 0

I will send this to the dev team for them to review.
