FluidToItem visual change

Hi Flexsim community,

I wanted to add a trigger on exit to FluidToItem. I changed the visual to BOX.3ds and changed the color to white. The Item color is changed to White and Item shape remains Circle. Is this a bug?

Thanks in Advance.

Software Version:

FlexSim 23.1.3

There is a slight difference between both objects a circle and a box. You can compare both in the tree. The object circle is a billboard 2D object. You need to disable it by flag operation

Please refer to https://answers.flexsim.com/answers/28299/view.html

item.attrs.find("/visual").subnodes.add().name="shape";
item.attrs.find("/visual").subnodes.add().name="shapeindex";
rebindobjectattributes(item.attrs.find("/visual"));
imageindexobject(item).value = 0;
shapeindex(item).value = 0;
set(drawflags(item),get(drawflags(item)) &~ DRAW_FLAG_BILLBOARD_MASK);

I am not sure, if every code line is necessary. I put this in the onExit trigger of FluidToItem object as first behind header declaration.

EDIT: FluidToItem_shaped_Object.fsm

You still need a change of shape and resize involved item, too.
