Delete Conveyor Arrow

Hi all,

Is there a way I could delete the directional arrow on a conveyor? See image attached.

Thanks,

The conveyor defaults to "model building mode" if that's what you want to call it. It shows the direction of the conveyors so that you can make sure that everything (visually) is running in the direction that it should.

When that "mode" is no longer needed, you can replace it with either rollers or a belt type conveyor. To do that, you need to go into the Conveyor System Properties window on the General tab and check the Draw Render Mode check box. This properties window can be found in the Toolbox tab or if you click on a conveyor and then click on the System Properties button in the Quick Properties panel. You can change an individual conveyor type by changing the Surface are options on the Visual tab in the Conveyor Type Properties window. Once you put a "surface" on the conveyor, the "arrow" will only be visible when the conveyor is clicked on.

If you have any questions, please let us know.

Thanks.

There is not a way to remove the arrow when the conveyor is in that format. You can try checking Draw Render Mode (from system properties) to have the actual 3D conveyor system, which does not have an arrow.
