[ FlexSim HC 5.3.10 ]

I had modelled the ground floor, first floor, and second floor of a hospital separately. How can i combine these to make a single multi-floor hospital

Hi @Aby P,

You can adjust the z position (height) of objects in their Properties. So you can select all of the objects on a floor and move them all to a z position that corresponds to that floor.

Depending on your version of FlexSim (I'm not sure how HC versions correlate), you can also adjust the "Grid Z" value and directly place objects at different Z positions.

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have further questions!

yeah I added the floor plan with the help of Z dimension and I was able to place the different objects (dressing room, x-ray machine, etc) but I was unable to keep the patient movement to the first floor even though I put an elevator and tried connecting through network mode

@Aby P Can you attach your model?

healthcare multi floor.fsm

I had added a small model and the first-floor plan, in this model when I give an additional floor I am able to place the objects, but when I add this image of the floor plan I am unable to keep objects(at least object can be kept by adjusting Z dimension) but I am unable to place the wall.

I tried connecting the elevator with a CT scan using a node path but it says the traveler cannot reach the destination, can anyone please help me with this

I think I was able to solve it with the hints provided by you guys although the model I uploaded was having some mistakes with network mode, that's why the elevator was not working, and for placing the objects on the floor, I created a floor at some Z distance and called the floor plan image at same Z distance which helped me in placing the objects
