Conveyor module: you can set the conveyor type in conveyors properties in the button signed with a row of dots. The standard behavior is set to accumulating. The conveyor behaves like a roller conveyor. Visually the conveyor looks like a white flat conveyor without any rollers. In the system properties of the conveyor (quick properties panel) you can activate under the general tab the draw render mode. The conveyors get the rollers, if the type is set to accumulating mode.

The legacy basic conveyor has to be activated in the environment of the global preferences in File under the main menu. Then the legacy conveyors are back in the object library.

@Judith S

In version 17.0.2, you have to go into the Conveyor System Properties window and check the "Draw Render Mode" check box (see below). In version 17.2.1, it is now the default for a conveyor section.
