Question Close gap between stacked racks

Hello forum members,

in older Versions of Flexsim I could stack to racks above another. After I have done this it looks like one rack. In Flexsim 7 there is a gap between the rack objects. How can i avoid this or better how could I close the gap?
I have detected the variable "rackdrawmode", but I want to keep the actual shape of the rack. In the attached file you see two stacked racks: left side Flexsim 7, right side Flexsim 5.

If you set the Rack2 zloc to zsize(Rack1)-1, they should stack as you require. So for example, the default size of a rack is 10, so the second rack should have a zloc of 9.

If you do so you will have one level used by two racks (the highest level of Rack1 and the lowest level of Rack2). You have to change also the logic of "place in level".

I would suggest you use a 3rd rack instead. Rack3 should be the size of Rack1 and Rack2 (with your example -> 20 levels, 10 bays) and the position of Rack1. Now you should turn of the "show 3d shape" of Rack1 and Rack2. Rack3 is only used for the visual...
