Marking a Conveyor

A straight conveyor is marked by one SimItemBlock, at the beginning of the conveyor. The length of the conveyor will be determined by the beginning of the next conveyor, or an END marker.

Because SimItemBlocks are always coplanar to the XY plane, the tilt angle is also defined by the location of the next conveyor.

Positioning

Each block is placed at the beginning of the conveyor in the centre of the belt. The end of the conveyor is determined by the block marking the beginning of the next conveyor or and End marker.

Rotation

Enter the direction of the conveyor on the XY plane in degrees between 0 and 360 degrees.

• Rotation 0 is parallel to the X axis, towards increasing x coordinates
• Rotation 90 is parallel to the Y axis, towards increasing y coordinates
