How can I create a flowitem(Tote) with different sizes? and set a height limit of 6' when the totes are stacked in a queue using a flow process.
Flowitem-different sizes

You should ask the height limit thing as a separate question.
You do it in two separate steps.
In Process Flow use a Create Object activity to create the flowitem, then use a Change Visual activity to set the size of the flowitem.
If you're using a 3D Source object to create the flowitems then just go to the On Creation trigger and use the Set Size pickoption to set the flowitem's size.
If you want the sizes to be random then you should use distributions to set the dimensions of the flow item.
Here is an example.
what option do I have to pick on the visual activity drop down box to set the items? when you reference as source do you mean 3D source?
I've updated my answer and added an example model you can look at.
Use the Set Rotation, Size, or Location pickoption and then choose Size from the dropdown.
Yes, I meant a 3D source.
No, a distribution is a command that returns a random value. So if you have a fixed size you want just type in that number.
