About the Bay Editor

The Bay Editor is used to predetermine the bay properties before placing products in the project. The benefits of using the Bay Editor include:

• Ability to customize and edit bay properties
• Apply updated bay properties directly in the drawing
• Save and load reusable templates

A bay is a set of stacked compartments between two uprights. A compartment is a space where pallets are stored and consist of the horizontal (beam) and vertical (upright) components.

Navigating the Bay Editor

To open, click Bay Editor in the Settings component section.

4. The Editing Window is the area to make the changes to the selected bay type.
