Default Conveyor Trouble

Dude:

I'm starting with a grapes packing model and i need to simulate when the flowitems (grapes) are unloaded on the conveyor in a bulk mode (lot of grapes). The problem is that the conveyor always put the flowitems in queue on his X axis (one after another and not in bulk style -Y axis too!), it is possible in a single conveyor? How?...:

I can do with more than one conveyors and toggle 3d shape, but I think it would be better in one.

Regards.-

Default For more details

Here attached a picture to better understand

1st image on the picture: that the units will be spread on the conveyor belt.

2nd image on the picture, that can be modified or removed from the conveyor by operator at defined points.

I hope you help me with some tips... thanks

Flexsim's Conveyor has a lot of work to handle spacing between the objects, that is why, you will not be able to overlap more than one object in the conveyor space.

If you are simulating in "Bulk" then why not create a flowitem that "represents" a bunch of your grapes.
