How to update a box visuals?

Hi,

I would like to ask about the box's color value. After changing this value to reduce the color intensity, the visuals remain the same. I'm not sure what else to do to make it affect the visual appearance.

I use the following code:

Object box = Model.find("Queue1/Box1");
box.color.a = 0.1;

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.2.1

code color change

Flowitems by default do not have an alpha value node for their color. You can go into the tree of the Box in the Flowitem Bin and add it manually, or simply change the alpha value of the Box in the Flowitem Bin which should add the code.

Afterwards your code should work.
