Visualization of walls on different floors using Astar

Hello,

For our model, we had to create three different AStar objects as they each represented a different floor. In order to do so, we had to create three different Walls objects, one for each floor.

However, when we visualize only floor 3, the walls on floor 3 do not appear. All 3 groups of walls appear only when floor 0 view is activated. Would you have any solution to this problem? Creating 3 different Walls objects was mandatory otherwise all the 3 AStar are considering all the walls.

Thank you !

Have you double checked that the dividers (I assume when talking about "walls" you mean dividers) are placed at the correct height for each floor. If their z-location is slightly lower than that of the floor/A* grid they will count as belonging to the floor below.

Other than that I can't replicate the issue in a test model and would need to see your actual model (or example that showcases the issue) to investigate further.

Dear Felix,

I actually found a solution to my problem, instead of using 3 different Astars, I used only one and defined three different grids at different heights. I was using walls and not dividers. However, one problem appears now; the conveyors are appearing as obstacles on every floor, even those it doesn't belong to.

I was able to replicate this issue and will send it into the development team.
