I have a 60" long conveyor, with a starting z elevation of 36". If I set the ending elevation at anything greater than 36" and less than 43.87", it reverts the ending elevation to 43.87" (in the quick properties window). However, when I look at the graphic in the 3D space, the graphic is retaining the elevation I key in. I can set the ending elevations to say 36.05" and the graphic will show the conveyor nearly level, but the quick properties window has reset the ending elevation to 43.87".
That is interesting. Functionality wise, how is it behaving? Does the conveyor behave as though it's starting at the number you key in, or is it behaving as if it's the 43.87? If the conveyor is behaving as if the numbers are updating properly. It could just be the GUI display window that's not updating the number correctly.
It's hard to tell with conveyors because a transfer point from one conveyor to another will work within flexsim no matter what the elevation mismatch is between the conveyors. I have a client that scrutinizes everything. They will want to see that the conveyor elevations are correctly set to match field conditions. For what ever reason, flexsim will not allow a start point/endpoint differential of less than 7.87". Looks like a program glitch to me.
Go to the conveyor system properties, and in the General tab, lower the Snap Threshold to a smaller value.
