How to convert 3D Flowitem to Process Flow token?

How do I take a 3D flowitem created from my fixed process flow and make it flow through like a token in another process flow?

Basically I want to take a 3D item that I created and transport it to the next object then have it flow through a particular process flow in that next object (essentially would be a process flow on entry) Any advice?

Software Version:

FlexSim 17.2.5

process flow process flow to 3d

@Sahar A

Can you send in your model or a sample model of what you are trying to do? If it's just a matter of using Process Flow to handle a flowitem through a certain process, that is easy to do. But not knowing how you have/want things set up, it's hard to give a specific answer. A model to look at would be awesome.

Thanks.

@Sahar A Use the event triggered source and let it point to the object where your flowitem enters and use the onentry event. Then a token is created and you can create a reference to the item on the token as a label.

Is there a way to create multiple tokens on event entry?

I batched a bunch of tokens before creating my 3D object so I'm looking to *unbatch* or *unpack* the tokens.

You can do this in the next activity: Create Tokens !
