How do I assess a tidy pattern with questionable support?

I'm reviewing an alternating layer pattern for our planned palletising sealed product cartons with Universal Robots UR5e in a small finished-goods dispatch area. Although the drawing fits the cartons neatly, a labelled dispatch carton has a preferred support direction and some rotated positions lie above gaps. I'd like a joint review of packaging support and tool access before accepting it.

Start by showing the carton edges that carry load and the pallet deck support on the layer drawings. Is the complete gripper outline available to overlay as well?

@MeiBell0690 My current layer drawing shows carton footprints and a tool centre point only. It hasn't incorporated the support direction specified in the carton documentation.

Give packaging and the integrator a drawing combining those details. A repeated unrotated layer is worth assessing alongside the alternating one because it may better suit the specified support direction
