Marking Curved Conveyors

A spiral conveyor is marked by one SimItemBlock, at the beginning of the conveyor. The height of the spiral conveyor will be determined by the z of the next conveyor or the default height will be -2 meters.

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 at the end marker.

Rotation

Enter the direction of the beginning 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

Attributes
SIMITEMNAME Conveyor Name
SIMITEMTYPE BS<angle><R or L><Radius>
SIMITEMCONNECT Next Conveyor Name

TYPE syntax: The TYPE starts with a BS for spiral conveyor, then the angle in degrees (e.g. 30, 90, 180, 720), the R for Right bend or L for Left bend, and finally the radius of the bend in millimeters.
