Hi @Edmilson Ml, under View>Media Files you can find a list of shapes in Flexsim. You can add a custom visual or choose one from the default list. You'll notice there's a number for each shape called the shape index. We'll use the shape index in a global variable called "Shape" (you can see it in the toolbox), to make an array. In the array, we put the shape index in order of Type (so type 1 index goes first, then 2, etc.). Lastly, in process flow I used a custom code activity to change the shape of the AGV using its Type to indicate which index of the Shape variable to use. There will need to be some extra adjustments of size / location, but at least this will get you started.
