Modeling parallel work stations using Process Flow

What is the best way to model parallel stations in process flow? In the file I have attached I have 4 workstations in parallel and I want the work to go to processor 3 and processor 4 first and then to 1 and 2? I am new to Flexsim and my attempt at the processflow logic in the attached file is very crude! Please help! Thank you.

You can set it up in 3D like this:

Right now your process flow doesn't control the flow of items in the model. Check out the tutorial in the user's manual on process flow to find out how to connect 3D with process flow. There is a feature called "Split and Join" under the coordination tab of the process flow tool box that will model parallel flows. 3732-parallel-ctls.fsm
