How to create boxes of different size in the Process Flow?

I need to create three types of boxes of different sizes and place them on the racks, perform a prube in ProcessFlow, modifying the Visual Change, in which I connect it to a table where it has the measurements of the boxes, but I have the problem is that I can only Create a single box and not several boxes of different sizes at once.

Hi @Jhon Alexander SD,

The easiest way to do this would be to assign a "Type" label to the item or token (values 1-3) that can be used to look up the item's designated size in GlobalTable1.

I've modified the model you attached to reflect this behavior. Hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

If it is what I need you to create the boxes of different sizes.

I would like to know if each box can be made to appear in each rack, that is to say that in rack 1 only one box is created, in rack 2 another box of different size.
