Palletizing buckets and other non-rectangular objects

Currently we support only rectangular objects. If you want to palletize cans, you need to create the pattern with the bounding rectangles of the cans.

We have also managed to create pattern for cans in a triangular layout as shown in the picture below, but this requires some manual work.

Math of the layout

First you’ll need to define the box dimensions as 2x the radius and 1.41x the radius of the can, and edit the layout manually: shift the boxes by r in every second row. When the pattern is done, load the JSON file in any text editor and modify the product dimensions manually to the bounding rectangle of the cans, 2r by 2r.
