As for your first issue with the side skirt, this issue has been fixed in FlexSim version 24.0. You can download the 24.0 beta here under More Versions.


In 24.0, you can edit the angle at which the sideskirt and extents will draw with the "sidetransfertiltlimit" under the ConvyeorSystem variables. As shown in the image below, in 24.0 I made the last side transfer conveyor slightly declined, then decreased the sidetransfertiltlimit to be very small.

If this doesn't solve your second problem, I would just suggest creating visual objects that look like the belt which could overlap the parent conveyor, as they do not provide any other function in the simulation.
