Trouble in flow item (totes) position !

Hello,

When I run the model, I get the totes with a height of 0.4 and they are not placed correctly on the corresponding queue. How to set default values for those totes in order to be well represented.

Regards.

Hi @sara S2,

My first suggestion would be to resize the queue so that it's large enough to hold the totes. You can also change the packing methods in the Flow Item Bin. I can't really see what's going on with the image you attached, however, so it would be helpful if you attached a model. Thanks!

It looks like your queue is too small for the default Stack Inside stacking logic to work properly (because the tote is bigger than the queue). Either:

1. Make the queue a little bit bigger so the tote fits inside it.

2. Change the queue to use Stack Vertically instead of Stack Inside.
