Default Drive-in/drive through rack

Hello,

I am trying to modify the Flexsim rack in order to represent a Drive-in and drive-through rack. But I can't find how to take out the horizontal beams and the platform.

Does anybody have an example/3D objet for those kinds of racks?

Thanks a lot!

Lucie

Hi Lucie,

There are two options.

1. Import a custom shape for the rack object.

2. Modify the draw code of rack using open GL and flexsim draw commands.

Here is a thread on Pallet Rack, which may help to solve your problem.

Along with that, I am attaching the model posted by Jason in the attached thread, which shows how you can change the appearance of a rack using opengl commands under custom draw trigger.

Regards,
Arun KR

Hi,
have you tried the different integer values of the variable "rackdrawmode"
setvarnum(obj. Rack,"rackdrawmode",1); // 1,2,3,4 maybe more obj.Rack is the reference of the Object - in a rack trigger you can use current

You can also hold the X key and click a Rack to cycle through its draw modes.

Not exactly sure what you mean by drive-through, but modifying the size table might help. See the attached model.
