How do I offset the distance between the flow items?

Guys, I have set triggers on loading for the transporter. So when the transporter comes to load the tires, the tires would rotate by y axis.

My question is why there is the offset distance between the tire? Anyone could help?

Thanks!

The website won't allow me to upload the file now, I will try to upload it later, but if anyone has gone through this, please let me know.

FlexSim uses the z-size of objects for stacking logic regardless of their orientation. The transporter in particular also continually adjust the items' location based on the current fork height, so changing their z-location manually also won't work.

One solution would be to adjust the shape factors of the tires to have this be the default orientation (z-axis = rotation axis of tire).

Thank you. It worked after I offset the x-rot.
