Is there a way to visually locate more that one object per bay in a rack?

I want to know if it is possible to obtain something like this?

As in the other cells shown it always ubicates the objects one behind the other, but not next to it.

You can set the location as Sam it mentions above. I attached a sample model, that uses Place in Level randomly if available. I had to change the source code to be able to send the level, the bay, the actual content of the rack cell and the reference of the item inside the message content.

The rack message trigger evaluate the message and change the location of the item in a cell. At the moment the source code can adjust the location of different width of bays and level heights in the rack, but it isn't able to store more items behind or in front of the previous row of items. The code doesn't check if the width of the item fits inside the cell either. But I have written some comments to give some hints.

You could do a setloc or setspatial command in the OnEntry trigger. If you want, you could take a look at the Pallet Packing methods for inspiration in how to set up something similar to the pallet. (Open up your flow items in the Toolbox, double click on Pallet, in the bottom left corner click on the button that says Edit Packing Method. You can open up the basic packing method by clicking on default, and opening the code editor. Note: that in your case, using the racks you would have the items offset along the y-axis and not use the z-axis offset at all.)
