How to show the heat map by myself?

I know the heat map in the A* module, but it works with the AStarNavigator.When I use the AGV module, I can't draw the heat map in the model. How do I learn to do it? Please give me some suggestions ,thanks very much.

You could technically do this, but it's going to be a big project and possibly beyond your programming skills (depending on your comfort level with coding).

First, you'll want to learn how to draw the heat map visuals. FlexSim provides several different ways to draw things in the 3D view like the draw commands ( like drawrectangle() ) and the mesh commands.

Second, you need to get the data you want the heat map to display. That might be the number of times an object's used a particular path. You'll probably have to use triggers to store the data somewhere.

Finally, you need to determine what to draw based off what the data you gathered is. For example, draw a red line under the path when more than 50 objects cross the path.

If you're still interested in doing this feel free to ask separate questions about specific aspects of what you're trying to do, like "How do I draw a red square?".
