How to send same itemtype to more than one queues if first queue is full?

I want to send items to multiple queues based on their type.

Also I want to allocate multiple destinations for one type of item which can be send on first available basis. but it should be send to first destination until it is full then should be send to next to second queues.

Sent_to_Port_by_Case.fsm

Attached model generates 3 type of parts.

Type 1 should be sent to Queue 1. When Queue 1 is full it should be sent to Queue 1_2.and when Queue 1_2 is full it should be sent to Queue 1_3
Type 2 should be sent to Queue 2.
Type 3 should be sent to Queue 3

You can build a source code or logic for this. But in my opinion that involves to much work.

You place another queue (A) at port 1. This queue (A) has got a capacity of 1 and the output ports are connected to Queue1, Queue1_2 and Queue1_3 In this order. Queue (A) is set to send items by first available port. It is the default option. The Queue (A) will distribute items as you describe it above.
