Hi Team,

I want to hide the 3D staff object during non-working hours. Is there any way to do it?

Thank you!

Hello @Ankur A3,

switch_hideshape(StaffMember,0);// 0 to show and 1 to hide

You will add in code in 3 places to hide and show the staff when needed. The first two places are the in the time table function tab.

and the third is a model reset trigger

Hi @Jeanette F,

Thank you for your answer!

I have observed this code is not working if I have different start date for timetable and model run time. Does it need to to same?

Thank you!

Could you attach your model that is having the issue?

Sure @Jeanette F

I am attaching model where timetable date is 8/06/2022 while model started running on 06/06/2022.

Thanks for pointing this out - it's a bug when the start date doesn't match the model start like this - and the logic assumes the model units are seconds. Your model is in minutes so that assumption breaks the code. I've sent it as a bug and hopefully will be fixed in the next release.

For now you can avoid this by setting the calendar start to match the model start - or build your model with seconds as the time unit.
