Default Unloading an item or operator from elevator to specific coordinate

Hi all!

I am trying to get a better grip on coordinated task sequences, and have made the attached model. The model works as follows:

-A flow item arrives at a queue
-Operator1 loads the item and travels to a certain location
-Operator2 travels to Operator1, loads the item and travels to Elevator
-Elevator loads and transports Operator2 to the upper floor
-Operator2 unloads item at destination and travels back down with elevator

My problem is as follows: When the elevator unloads the operator, he always seems to appear in location 0,0 relative to the visual tool that works as the floor. (In the upper left hand corner)

I would like the operator to appear just outside the elevator (to the left on ground floor and the right on first floor.

Any suggestions or comments?

Best regards
Christian

Hello Christian,
callsubtask on a messagetrigger when the elevator is unloading the operator to place the operator next to it.
