Hello @Owen_liaw H,

I set a trigger on the exit of the combiner to set the size of item.

The conveyor puts the item in the center of the conveyor. In this case the item is the black box because the brown box is contained within the black one.

Hello @Owen_liaw H,

The combiner packs the brown item within the black item. This makes the brown item a subnode of the black one. So the code references the black item (item), the brown item (subnode[1]), and the label on the brown item (Width or Thickness).

You can see what is considered a subnode of an object or flowitem when you inspect the tree.

For instance, Product in this case is the Black item and Box is the brown item.
