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.

@ThomasAdams0103 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.

Don't let simpler sound like approved. An unrotated layer still needs its load and stability assessed with the actual contents.

@GabrielBarnes0540 Agreed; I meant a comparison option. Packaging must assess both arrangements with the specified cartons and contents, including support and stability.

I thought alternating layers always made a stronger stack. Is that too simple?

@SofiaBell0630 Too general. The arrangement changes where loads pass through the cartons. Your packaging reviewer needs the actual construction and support geometry to judge it.

I've overlaid the layers and can identify carton edges positioned above gaps. I can now show packaging the actual support condition that concerned me.

I had a separate dispatch setup where the carton top view omitted the pallet's deck gaps. Including the deck geometry exposed additional positions for packaging assessment.

@FarahArcher0417 Was your accepted pattern linked to a particular pallet specification? My drawing currently names only the overall pallet size.

Include the deck geometry in the pattern's pallet reference. Matching overall dimensions don't establish identical support beneath the carton arrangement.

@ThomasAdams0103 For access, show the whole tool beside neighbouring cartons at the corner placements. The centre mark won't reveal body or finger overlap.

@JoAllen0331 With the complete outline added, my offline layout shows a tool overlap with a neighbouring carton at one corner. I'll identify that specific position for the integrator's assessment.

Include approach and release, not just the final pose. Clearing the outline at the destination wouldn't establish access to it.

@GabrielBarnes0540 My next step is defined: combine support geometry and the complete tool in the layer drawings for packaging and integration assessment. The planning question is answered, with pattern acceptance still dependent on that review.

You've settled the review basis, with the actual pattern decision still tied to the packaging and integration assessments.
