How to make the operator carry the flowitem with another orientation?

My operator needs to carry long rectangular boxes. In the default simulation, he carries the object so that it is vertical, as you can see in the figure I attached. Is there any way to make the operator carry the object so that it is horizontal to him?

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.0.1

It depends on how the flowitem should be oriented throughout the model. But there are two ways of doing this.

First, (bottom example in model) is to set the orientation (size) of the flowitem in Source13 to be how you want the flowitem to look in the model. And that would be the only change necessary for this option.

Second, (top example in model) is to make code changes in the OnLoad and OnUnload of Operator7. Take a look at the model and the code in Operator7 and see if this is what you were wanting to do.

Here is the model: flowitemorientation-fs1.fsm

Try to set the rotation of the item in the Queue's OnExit-Trigger to the desired orientation. Set the orientation back to the old values in the OnUnload-Trigger of the Taskexecuter.
