How to change the size of the yellow frame box?

Hi everyone! I have a question, I hope you can help me to solve the problem.

I would like to change the size of the yellow box inside a pallet that determines the space that the object occupies (I attached a photo so you can understand me). This in order to make the box of the size of the pallet together with your product (Ii attached another photo)

What I would like to do withe the frame box size:

I come around of this with a [dynamic pallet]. But there was an error in the standard placement method of queues. You have to change the placement method to vertically or horizontal line. The pallet adjustment currently sets only its size on Entry to be larger. It is a packaging method of an item. If an packed items is moved out, you must adjust the size by yourself to be lower again. The dynamic pallet is only an object frame. The items of pallet and packed boxes are moved into a draw surrogate node. I evaluate the height of last added box on the pallet to adjust the object size of the dynamic pallet.

If you want to try it on your own here is a short description where you build an own packaging method and how to get there.

The simple packaging method works a bit different. You can choose this for your request too. This method adjusts the shape and object size of pallet item, that it looks like the packed items are in the boundaries of the pallet.

You should adjust the Shape Factors.

See this previous question for more info: How to resize object bounding box

You'll probably want to do this to the pallet object in the flowitem bin.
