Is there a way to pick specific boxes from a queue based on height?

in my process I have three different heights, and I can't find a way in which the transporter picks boxes of a specific height.

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.1.2

transporter boxes specific itemtype

@Ernesto B,

Attached is a sample model that does what I believe you are after. I would assign a different itemtype to each different size of item. Then in queues 2,3 & 4, I use the Pull option and pull a specific itemtype. Take a look at the model and see if something like this would work for you. It seems to me to be the easiest way to solve your problem.

Thanks.
