Model elements disappear from 3D view when I move them into nodes in the tree

[ FlexSim 24.1.1 ]

CT_Lab_Flow_2.fsmI want to tidy up the model tree by organizing objects into a hierarchy. When I move processors into folders in the tree, they disappear from the 3D view (despite "Show 3D Shape" still being ticked for them). When I used "Edit Selected Objects" to move them back to the "model" node in the tree, they reappear. Is there a way to make all objects appear properly and maintain some sort of hierarchy in the tree?

The coordinates of an object are always with respect to the coordinate system of their parent object. If their parent node is not an object, meaning it does not have coordinates, they won't be displayed. If you change the nodes' type to object (or use a Plane in the first place) the objects should appear.

Perfect - thanks.
