Network node with process Flow

Hi, does anybody know how to create a process Flow and use the network nodes at the same time.

I´m trying to do a logistic flow, very simple, and I would like to use the network nodes in order to have a nice 3d view

Software Version:

FlexSim 16.2.0

process flow network nodes

Since you are creating a Truck, you can mostly just substitute your 'Arrive Destination' activity with a 'Travel' activity. The activity you used moves an object instantly from where it is to somewhere else, but the Travel activity gives a task sequence to the Truck that tells it to travel from point A to point B.

The other thing I would do is rather than use BasicFR objects as your origin and destination points would be to just use the nodes themselves. So your create object destination would be node 1 and your travel-to destination would be node 2.

Here's an example of what I mean:
