How to Show Non-Storable Slot

When a slot is configured as not storable, it is not shown...

Is there a way to overide this and still show the slot? I need the rack to still appear for visual reasons because it may be adjacent to another rack with an item that overspans onto it. If the slot can be shown, can the appearance also be changed?

Rethinking this, it's much easier to just leave slot as storable and assign a label to the slot (e.g. "OverSpan")...

and use that label in a FindSlot's where condition (WHERE .... AND slot.OverSpan = 0). This will prevent the slot from being selected.

Thanks for the update - maybe this would be a nice option to have as standard though, where the rack is still drawn when it's marked as non-storable.

@Jason Lightfoot, @Development: Or there exists a method to draw shapes of a rack by ourself. I don’t see, how a single option can fetch all variants of visual attributes of a rack like brackets, bars, shelves, signs, …

By the way, such an approach would us allow to customize our racks visually from a standard setup.
