Is there a global way to change the media file for generated flow items, i.e. trucks? Can I add an additonal flowitem to the bin, and have the gate planner generate it, instead of the standard container truck? Thanks for any help.

Jamie,

The type of arrival determines the flowitem(s) that will travel in to pick up / drop off the container or chassis. The only way I could see to chane the look of the truck would be to change the shape of the flowitem in the flowitem bin.

Good Luck,
Brandon

The only thing is, I don't want to replace the shape in the flowitem bin since the truck gang object in the yard references the same shape, and I want to keep that intact. Any other suggestions?

The 'truck object' in a yard gang has the truck shape and the 'truck flowitem' also has the truck shape. If you change the shape of the 'truck flowitem' in the flowitem bin to a different shape, it doesn't affect the yard gang trucks. They are pointing to the truck shape, not the truck flowitem.

The yard gang trucks are not instances of the 'truck' flowitem.
