How can I insert 3D Object to the 3D view using FlexScript?

Hello, I would like to insert 3D object such as queue , processors, etc. from the library to the 3D view by FlexScript. How can I do that? I can't seem to find commands such as create or load in the FlexScript reference.

The purpose I want to do this is to automate the insert of the 3D object if the customer has the list of equipment in Excel or csv.

Thank you in advance,

Hello, When I try to create boxes in this fashion:

createinstance(library().find("?Box"), model());

or with this:

createinstance(library().find("Tools/FlowItemBin/Box"), model());

I get a variable/codenode error. But if I put ?Queue or other objects instead of a flowitem all works fine. Is that normal?

It works if I do it with the ProcessFlow activity "Create Object" but I'd need to do it in code for various reasons.

You can see the problem in the attached 1-line model.

You can use createinstance to instantiate library objects, and createcopy if you want to create copies of an object you have already preconfigured.
