How to change the position of the yellow frame?

I have a problem. I have changed a processor to a part of the machine i need to simulate. But I had to rotate the part to position it correctly. The problem now is that the yellow frame, where the part normally is positioned in it is now somewhere else, but it is important that the yellow frame has the same position as the part to get sure that the flow items stop at the part and not in the yellow frame.

I use FlexSim 17.2.2.

Thanks for help.

@Judith S I guess you are looking for the Edit Shape Factors option on the general tabpage. With those values you can change the position of the 3D shape relative to the actual object (the yellow frame)

An alternate approach to changing the size and location of the actual object (yellow frame) relative to the 3D shape (Shape Factors) is to use the animator to create and position a surrogate shape (sub component) to represent the 3D shape as explained in the following post: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/49037/position-item-on-center-of-process.html
