Hi, I am trying to do a custom placement in a queue (looks like a rack) so that it doesn't look like its all stacking under it. I'd like for it to look stacked on the rack properly with proper space between and height between rows.
(see below picture for what I have now. the red is about how I'd Ideally like them to be, not smooshed together and at that level.)
Thanks!

I think you might need this.
@Fang J @Joerg Vogel I have changed Item Placement and got them to move but I can only get it to stack all the flow items in one given space. I would like to be able to select or program the space between the Z level of each flow item and X, Y levels if possible on entry of said flow items. (I'm doing what I am doing at the moment using snippet code with on entry trigger)
You can get the current number of items in the queue via "current.subnodes.length" in the entry trigger and then adjust the location of the entering item according to it.
For the z-location you would simply divide by the number of items on one level and discard the decimal places (Math.trunc() ).
The x- and y-locations can be determined similarly or by using the modulo operator "%" (or Math.fmod) which returns the remainder of a division.
Then use a rack instead! Any mechanism to control rack like placement costs you as much afford as using a rack. You can compute placement of level and bay by modulus operator and integer division. You can write location values in global table. You can replace a table by multi dimensional arrays. But in the end you will copy just a default rack object. Then use one!
