How to let items stand up on covneyor?

Hi, I want items on a conveyor stand up. I don't want to use setsize function.

I upload a model, it use kinamatic. The items stand up, but half of its body is hidden in the conveyor. This is not what I want. Any idea?

This might help?

thank you Anthony. But if I set xsize of the items shorter, they will stand in air, not on conveyor.

and they seems jump.

OK, how about this, after this I am out of ideas.

If you change the centroid value of the textured colour box to 0 then it rotates around the left hand corner of the part? If you then change the rotation to -90 degrees it then stands on end. However the rotation does not look very smooth anymore?

Another problem, if I change 100 to 10 in the following sentence, items stand up strangely. I want them to stand up in one place, not moving and stand up simultanesly. Oh, am I asking too many question? Because I am doing a project, I meet many problems.

double kinx=100*(getkinematics(getvarnode(current,"convki nematic"),KINEMATIC_X,1,time())-getlabelnum(item,"startx"));

You could just change the Orient Y, Orient Z, and Z Offset values for the conveyor if you just want it to immediately stand up when you get to that conveyor.

If you want to use kinematics to rotate items over time while they are on a conveyor, you should use a BasicConveyor object, not the regular conveyor. If you want to know how the BasicConveyor works, check out the sample models that use it and read the documentation on the commands that are associated with it. The commands all begin with bc, such as bcsetitemconveystate().

yes, I want to use kinematics to rotate items over time while they are on a conveyor. And some type will stand, others will not.

I'll see bcconveyor.

thanks

I see the bcconveyor, and still cannot figure out it. need help.
