Switch Object Options enable the following option to be toggled on and off:


Option
Default Description

Act As Item Guide
On Select this option if you want your switch to acts like a Guide. Items passing through it will animate through its position.

Disable Range Errors
Off During a model run, if an item looks through a switch using the Attribute mode and the switch encounters a value that is greater than the number of available paths, Planimate® considers this to be a run-time error. It displays an error message indicating that the number is out of range, and then stops the run.If you select this option, then when this switch detects an out-of-range value, it will block the item's progress. If the switch is referencing a portal attribute, the item may be allowed to proceed if that attribute later comes within range. In the case of an Item Attribute reference, the item would continue to be block the path for the duration of the model run.

Show Icon During Run
Off Select this option if you wish to see the switch's icon during a model run.

Switch Cannot Block Items
INI* This Gating Option is available directly from the Switch Object Menu.
* Depends on setting in Planimate®'s INI file.
