Highlight Components

COMPONENT MODELING | COMPONENT SCRIPTING

During a simulation you may want to highlight components to provide important visual indicators. For example, you may want to highlight the stage of a component in a product life cycle or color code components in a workcell. It is also possible to highlight the state of a component, for example whether a machine or resource is active, idle or broken.

In this tutorial you learn how to:

Assign materials to components contained by paths and other containers.
Use signals and events to edit components transitioning in and out of containers.
Use a dictionary to store the property values of components.
