how do i make a glass door open automatically

I am simulating a picking process in a warehouse. I've added a glass door on the warehouse entrance/exit, but while the operators pick the products the door doesn't open automatically, they only move through the door. I've tried A* navigator, but with this option enabled the operators only stop on the door and the product goes automatically to the unload area.

Software Version:

FlexSim 21.0.5

Hello @D. E. Dumba,

I'm attaching an example model where I made it so the door opens and closes for the operators as they move in and out of the building. I had to do the animation using process flow, and it's pretty specific, but it can be adjusted.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions!

Picking2.0.fsm

@Ryan Clark, I've one more question, actually. I've followed your instructions, but I just don't understand why the operators don't come in the warehouse again after unloading the items. I'm sending you the file so you can understand better.
