Thank you for the reply Jim. I haven't decided on which data would be needed, since I was not sure how to approach defining different areas where the products will be located. Any advise on that? I would like to start with five aisles. Some of the racks will be able to hold six palletized items, and others will hold eight palletized items per section of rack. I would like to alot an area to use for each product. Once the racks are filled, I would like to populate the floor area, between the racks, with the same product but stacked in varying configurations from one product to another. I would probably make a component for these groups of pallets. Excel is my guru program, so I would not have any difficulty putting the data into any order needed. Is this what you meant by format, or were you asking what I plan to use as the delimiter? If you were refering to the delimiter, then probably a comma.
I have thought about using our item numbers as the name for the components. I thought that might be a way to link the data to Sketchup. I know I can provide a full pallet number for each item. I am not sure how much work this is going to require, but I do not mind. It would be worth the time to be able to provide a way for others to visually see the ammount of inventory versus empty space available. If needed, I can post pictures/video of our setup as a visual aid. Thank you again Jim.
