Issue with changing default Z-location of the walls

Hello, with the new floor level feature you added in 22.1, I tried to change the default Location.Z property of the "Walls" object in order to relate it to a certain floor level (4 meters in my case).

Unfortunately, on reset this value always returns back to 0. I tried to "Clear Object Reset Location" and tried changing the default z-location of this object in the tree, but none of this helped.

I was able to change Z-position value of pillars as in this example below:

treenode Walls = Model.find("Walls").find(">visual/drawsurrogate");
for (int i = 1; i<=Walls.subnodes.length; i++)
{
Object CurrentWall = Walls.subnodes[i];
CurrentWall.location.z = 4;
}
Object wall = model().find("Walls");  function_s(wall, "setWallsDirty");

But in this case FlexSim still considers object's "Wall" Location.Z to be 0 and it will be considered to be on the 0m Floor level instead of the 4m Floor level even though all pillars are drawn correct.

I assume it is a bug, if not let me know how to fix it. Thanks.

The Walls object hasn't been updated to be able to show/hide individual walls or to work with the Floors panel. I'll add this to the dev list to look into. Thanks for pointing this out.
