Hello,

In my attached model, my forklifts specially forklifts 1 and 3, goes through boxes and the walls I have put in place to load the boxes into the floor storages, can someone please edit my file so that the forklifts follow an accurate path without running into walls and its own boxes in the loading and unloading process?

Please and Thank you very much!

Hello Navode. We won't edit your file for you, however to answer your question, I suggest using an A*Star navigator. A*Star is a handy feature that enables you to prevent task executors from going to specific areas in the model. For your purposes, if you place a barrier around the coolers and outside walls, the forklifts wont be able to pass through them. Here is a link to a good explanation and tutorial. Please follow up if you have additional questions.
