Hi,
truck (flowitem) default goes to PortQ1 in this direction, but in fact the truck is supposed to go to PortQ1 in opposite direction to unload items, I wonder if it is possible to change the visual?
I tried to change z-direction to 180, but it didn't make any changes.
Any suggestions will be much appreciated!
Please see a truck flowitem still as a taskexecuter. Then you find your answer in properties of Taskexecuter.

For task executers (and task executer flow items) the "Flip Threshold" value governs if they travel forwards or backwards. If the travel task would require to turn more degrees than the value specified in the option, the task executer will instead change its travel direction.
So with the default value of 180, it will always travel forwards, since a turn of more than 180° is never required. If you decrease this value and set the orientation of the truck so that it's facing away from PortQ1 before you start the travel task, it should travel backwards.
If the truck only has to move forward and backward on a straight line, you could also deactivate the rotation alltogether with the checkbox in the top right corner.
