Are you able to post your model? If so we can better help you with your problem in specific.

There are 2 ways you might be able to do this. First, at the top of the screen click on View -> Find Objects and then on the right side of your screen you will see a location to place a value and click Find. Depending on your situation you might be able to click on the label or id and the search for a red outlined box which you can click on and it will highlight the item in the model.

Thanks for the reply @zachary.h

I tried accessing a flowitem using Model.find(tostring(uniqueid of item)) this didnot work for me.

Do you have any other command to access flowitem using its unique id?

The following code is all that you need to send an item.

param(1) already attaches the unique id to "item"

Object current = ownerobject(c);
Object item = param(1);

moveobject(item,Model.find("Queue11"));
