How to turn 15 items into one different shape ?

Hello Flexsim Team !

What I would like to do is turn my 15 items (visually represented by Quad.3ds) into one item (visually represented by Cylinder.3ds) that will be packed on pallet.

I tried to use "On Exit" feature, but unfortunately it didn't work :/

Any ideas how can i solve it ?

Any help would be much appreciated !

Model 1.fsm

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.1.3

Hi @Piotr R, there are a couple ways you could do this. The easiest would be to create a second combiner that would first combine the parts into the desired shape and then pack it onto a pallet. You could also create your own custom shape that is the cylinder on a pallet and then with the 'on exit' trigger use this new shape. If you didn't want to see two combiners, you could easily change the visual of one of them or put one far away with a processing time of 0. Here's a model with a couple options.
