You need to use one of the navigators or turn off the option to travel offsets for load/unload tasks.

Hi Jason,

The problem is not only for the queue that operator is loading material. Since operator takes the shortest path when walking to the destination, the operator walk through all equipment between operator's current location and the destination. Since operator has to be utilized for many different task, using a network is not quite a good idea. Model will be so messy with network part everywhere. How do you think?

@Mike, A*Star grid and navigator or you customize an own travel path by traveltoloc tasks around obstacles.

When we use this method, the object color has changed to blue. Could you please show me a simple sample model for this?

You can hide travel networks by holding down "X" and clicking on a network node. The network node you click on will always remain visible, so you can toggle the network to be visible again later.

Thanks, Felix, My local distributor also taught me the same strategy. However, there are 100 of equipment and many operators. It is quite a mess by making 100 of network notes for every possible destination. :(
