Default AGV and Warehouses

I'm building a model using the AGV Module, to simulate AGVs picking from a warehouse, and delivering within the factory. The problem that I am having is the AGVs going through the warehouse because it is the shortest path to their destination.

Is there a way to limit when AGVs can travel down specific paths? Or, can there be a global setting in the AGV module to make the AGVs choose the quickest path over the shortest path (the paths through the warehouse will be much slower than other paths)?

If you want to prevent your TaskExecuters run through walls, you have two options:
- set Barriers (area that can't be crossed)
- set Preferred Path (alternative traveling track)

Hi,
If you use a network, you can manipulate the active tasksequence by adding further tasks of the type placeoffset or pickoffset. In combination with a relative traveltask and nodefunction task you can let the transport travel backwards in an aisle.
