How to load items into a cart without overlap?

Hi,

I am looking to load items in the cart, neatly placed without any overlap (as shown in the figure below). I can do this by controlling X,Y,Z location of the item. But wondering if there is an elegant way to reference it with respect to the cart so I can fill top level, followed by middle and bottom level.

Hey @Rahul R, you could use a "Change Visual" activity with an equation for the different coordinates to position the boxes in the cart.

Looks something like this. It's not perfect, but you get the idea.

A cart like that is usually modelled using a container flow item and a packing method.

Is there an example you can point me to?

I changed them the cart to a flow item. Is that what you meant?
