How to separate outputs on the elevator

I want to separate the item and the pallet from line1 on the elevator.

For example,

I want to make the item(from Source1) to go to the line2.

And also, I want to make the pallet(from pallet) to go to the line3.

But It does not work well.

As you can see the picture, all of the items only go to the line2.

@Eunchae P

Did Aravind answer you question?

For clarification, Aravind used only 3D to solve the problem by making an S connection to the elevator and then at the exit port of the 1st conveyor Sort By Expression.

And then for Process flow I created an example. (FYI the logic for "Unload" activity doesn't work well with conveyors, so the best way to get around that is placing a queue in between the elevator and the next conveyor. You can make the queues invisible to make it seem as it goes straight to the conveyor.)
