Either you change the shape factors in the flow item bin, so that the 3d shape is rotated 'correctly' within the bounding box (forward: positive along the x-axis, up: positive along the z-axis).

Or you change the rotation within the model in the properties of the entry transfer and the On Entry trigger of the combiner.

In the On Entry trigger you would also need to customize the code so that only the items entering through port 2 are rotated.

Hello Felix, thanks for your answer and idea. Could you send me the FlexSim file with this changes? Just to see the code.

Set up the "Set Rotation" option as you would normally, then simply enclose everything between "Pickoption Start" and "Pickoption End" in an if-condition that checks if the item entered through port 2.

{ // ************* PickOption Start ************* //
if(port == 2) {     /***popup:SetSizeLocRot*/     /***tag:name*//**Set Rotation*/     Object involved = /** \nObject: *//***tag:object*//**/item/**/;     double x = /** \nx: *//***tag:nx*//**/-90/**/;     double y = /** \ny: *//***tag:ny*//**/0/**/;     double z = /** \nz: *//***tag:nz*//**/180/**/;     /** \nCommand: *//***tag:command*//**/setrot/**list:setloc~setrot~setsize*/(involved, x, y, z); } } // ******* PickOption End ******* //
