Human using hand tool during process

Process Modeling
1

Hi all,
I wish to model a process where a bolt is tightened on a product by a human. Is it possible for the human to pick up a tool (eg. wrench) in its hand and simulate some working movements (such as rotating the arm) then place the tool down in a designated place?

I understand there is the Work statement that can be used in processes, but tools cannot be picked up, attached to the hand, or dropped. How could this step be simulated?

With the missions, you can make the human collect and deliver a tool. In the programm tab, you can programm the movement of the human during the work process (but they won’t keep holding the tool during the work process).

Another way of doing it, would be to add the tool in the hand of the human and use a switch feature to be able to make it visible or not with a property (in the modelling tab). Then you can fake it with a process where you change the value of this property.
