code to set Elevator size

Hi.

In my model,I use code to create Elevator and set its size.But the size won't change until I click on the Elevator with the mouse.

Is this probably due to the slow refresh rate? How to solve this problem？

Thanks.Below is my code, my model ischangeelevatorsize.fsm

Object newConveyor = createinstance(node("/?Elevator", library()), model());
newConveyor.setSize(1,0.8,0.15);

Software Version:

FlexSim 18.2.3

code elevator createinstance size

changeelevatorsize.fsm (15.8 KiB)

The elevator is a composed or assembled object, like the crane or the transporter. You find in the library nodefunctions that are there to do or accomplish the resizing of such objects:

Object newConveyor = createinstance(node("/?Elevator", library()), model());
newConveyor.setSize(1,0.8,0.15);
treenode scalelift = library().find("taskexecuters/Elevator>behaviour/eventfunctions/scalecomponents");
nodefunction(scalelift,newConveyor);
