How to change routing.

I'm trying to figure out a way to setup a decision point.

If the length of the piece is larger than 72" it should go to one queue, if its not it should go all the way down the line.

Can you help me with that?

Attached is the original model that I sent to you from this question, with a few modifications.

I changed the GUI to have a Min and Max length, that is used in the Source (exponential statistical distribution) to determine the length of the item. Then in the Queue3 object, on the Flow tab, in the Send To Port field, I do a Conditional Port option. The condition is that any item less than 72 inches continues down the normal path. Anything longer than 72 inches is sent to the QueueOver72 object, where it stays.

If you have any problems or questions, please comment below.
