How to change the 3d shape of items from the Separator respectively?

This is my model. change the 3d shape.fsm

I want to change the 3d shape of items that are duplicated from the Separator respectivey before or when they begin the separation on the Separator, not when they arrive in the Queue.

so on the picture, two persons should already be looked in different shape each other. How can i do that

please help.

The split action is a result of the exit event. You change the shape accordingly in on Exit trigger. Maybe you do this depending on the variable port.

Action by Process Flow change-the-3d-shape-jv.fsm

If you want a working property then please copy from a 3d object trigger the source code into the code editor of process flow activity. But do this only for the picklist block.

@Phil BoBo, unfortunately the process flow template property change 3D-shape doesn't work.There is a slight difference in the template code to a 3D model trigger

sets(shape(involved),shapename); // works, from a trigger template

setname(shape(involved),"_shape"); // does NOT work from process flow property

Missmatch still valid in FlexSim 21.0.4 template_bug_ PF_vs_trigger_change_shape.fsm

Thank you!

but how do i target to change the shape of item by the port?

as shown in the picture, you can select the item or the object(connected to current e.g. Queue), so it will change the shape of two items at the same time. i want to change the shape of items receptively depending on the port.
