Doubts about rack properties

Hello eveyone,

I have a rack with the following properties:2022-06-20-12h21-38.png

My doubt is, non-storables slots are considered 700mm high or should be 1400mm?

If they're only 700mm, is there any way to build a rack with both 700mm and 1400mm level high?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Just just drag and select the cells you want to change and then type the level value for that subset.

This picture matches with the rack properties in the previous post.

Since level 2 is non-storable in this picture level 1 should be 1400mm high, right?

I don't fully understand what you're now asking.


Marking a location as non-storable prevents it from being considered when you're finding slots by checking the value of the slot attribute 'isStorable' or the hasSpace() method. hasSpace() will return 0 for a non-storable slot.

So an item that is 1.4m tall should not fit in a 0.7m tall level. The problem in making this work with packed items is that only the container is considered by default. Attached is an example which uses the content of the pallet to determine if it has space (in the rack slot assignment code).
