Stack Base Z for custom container flow item

I have pallets being created by process flow, and initialized with some totes stacked "in" the pallet.


If it were a queue that I dragged onto the 3D environment, I would be able to set the "stack base z" for the pallet to make sure the totes appear on top of the pallet and not on the z=0 point.


How can I do this with many dynamically created pallet containers?


Thanks,

Paulo

Hello @Paulo S20,

The Pallet has a packing method that you can change. Go into the Flow item Bin and select the pallet

in the upper right of the window you will see an Edit packing methods button. Select this and a new window will open. You can change from here what a packing method does. You can edit a current method, copy a current method and change it, or create one from scratch. In the properties window for the Pallet you will see under the flowitem tab there is a pack content option so you can switch which method the pallet uses.
