Rotation of the flow item

Hello

I am trying to change the rotation of the flow item (cylinder). The cylinders are getting out of the processor in a vertically shape, but I would like them flow in a horizontal shape

@Frank Andres OR

You can use a decision point at the starting of the conveyor and set the rotating position in decision point, which will make the Cylinder item to flow from vertical shape to a horizontal shape on the conveyor.

I have attached a sample model for your reference

supportrotate-item.fsm

Thanks

Or you can set the Orientation directly from the EntryTransfer.
