Move Object in Process Flow

Hi, I just have a Process Flow and 3D model, and what I'm trying to do its once a flow item arrive to a normal queue then, start a process flow logic, onces this process flow logic finish move the object to a separator in the 3D modeling.

I'm not sure how to use the move object in process flow, should I need to use special figures?

Hi Oscar. You can use a Move Object activity to move the object into the separator, but that will always move the object regardless of the logic (such as maximum content or pull strategy) of the separator. What I would probably do is make a regular connection from the queue to the separator, but have the queue hold the item using the "Do not release item" option in the Send to Port property of the queue:

Then you can use a Custom Code activity in Process Flow and select Release Item from the Basic FR submenu when you are ready to release the item.

Just note that you have to specify a specific port, because otherwise it will release the item with the default logic (which you have just set to Do not release item).
