How to address an item inside container?

Hello,

So, I wish to by percentage delete the item inside container (say 30% will be lost, but container will remain).

How do we address the item inside container? "item" only address the container.

Best regards,

Edwin

You can use rank(obj, rank_number) to point at any item inside the obj (e.g.item) at the rank.

Hi David, thanks for your help. Furthermore, is there any command to selectively delete flowitem?

Use rank() to find out the object you want to delete and use destroyobject() or moveobject()(to a sink) to delete it.

I am trying to access the part inside the container as the cycletime for the machine is based on the part inside the container.

So i used this as per the suggestion you made.

treenode Part=rank(item,1);

This is returning "NULL" value. Is there any other way to do it, or I did something wrong.

I am not sure when went wrong, unless you can attached a small model to illustrate it.

I have added an example here. One just using 3D and another with PF.
