Changing height of Elevator Bank via Properties

A customer pointed us to the fact that changing the height of an Elevator Bank in the properties pane does not update the visuals of the elevators in it. Only dragging the respective resize arrows on the manipulation orb does.

Is this an oversight and could be added in or is this by design (possibly no desire to customize the Visuals pane works for a single object)?

There are some objects which behave similar. Sometimes a function_s is involved or the reset positions need an update. functions_s parameters are found in library.

Perhaps you need to reference an internal or sub class by :: operator.

@Felix Möhlmann , maybe an Elevatorbank behaves a bit like a standard elevator: https://answers.flexsim.com/answers/63196/view.html

Thank you for your input.

But I guess I should have phrased my question differently. I am aware that what you see in the 3d model are components of the elevator objects inside the Elevator Bank and that they would need to updated when changing the size.

The question really was more aimed at the developers; whether this would be classified as a bug as it goes agains expected behaviour, or whether this is working as intended?

This is a bug; we've added a case to the dev list. Thanks.
