Each AVAILABLE path has an equal chance of being selected.

When an item looks through the switch to determine a path to take, the switch first determines which paths are available to be taken. Available means that there is room to receive the item in the next object with capacity.

The switch then selects one of those paths at random.

Each available path has an equal chance of being selected.

If you think it is possible that ALL paths could be blocked when an item looks through the switch, you will need to select the Gating option “Switch can Block Items”, to avoid a run-time error.
