Default Flowitem offset in Conveyor
I have a attached model in which flow item from the source travel through the center of conveyor and reach the queue.
What is needed is the flow item has to be offset to one edge of the conveyor.
I have tried the setloc() command on entry trigger but its not working.
Help is appreciated.

As far as I know there is no way to set item to another position than centroid on a conveyor. What we normaly do in this way is to change the shape position. To do this you only have to change the values in Tree under Box/spatial. There you should find:

offsetx
offsety
offsetz
and so on. These values can change shape position. But for doing this, you will have to programm your own logic.
