How can I change the shape and size of a flowitem after a processor?

I want to change the shape of a flowitem (person) to a sphere, I have already use a trigger on exit but the size is to small. Base on that I have tryed to use another trigger on exit Set size, but visualy the sphere remain the too small no matter I increase the size. See picture 1. Any suggestion? I attached the model.

I attached the model.shape-size-problem.fsm

Thank you in advance.

This is a bug in the Change 3D Shape pick option.

If you edit the code, you can change line 19 from:

setname(shape(involved),"_shape");

to

sets(shape(involved),shapename);

and the size will be correct.

shape-size-solution.fsm

I'll add a case to the dev list to update this pick option.

Hi @Alejandro Huerta Torruco,

Change the shape frame of the flow item, when it exits the processor instead of changing the 3d shape. In order to change the shape frame, you must create a sphere shape frame for the person flow item. Using the property window of person flow item in the flow item bin.

Then use the change shape frame pick list option in the on exit trigger of the processor. See the attached model.
