| To alternate the levels of a pallet that has been created with Quick Pallet Maker, we start from the list of pallets that was created following the same procedure as the example #1. The result should be similar to what we see at right. |
 |
| Once this is done, we select the first of the pallets in the list and the Alternate Layers function from the main pallet actions menu. In order for this action to be executed, the user needs to press the "Go" button. |
 |
| Once the pallets with alternated layers have been calculated, a new pallet will appear at the end of the list. The drawing at right shows this new pallet. |
 |
| The problem with this pallet is the instability. The levels don't keep the same area between them, which makes the pallets prone to collapsing. Besides, this pallet does not optimize the boxes per pallet but that argument is beyond the scope of this example. In order to add stability to the boxes, we will open the Layer Editor, that can be found under the Tools menu. Once this window has been opened, we select the second level which is the first one of the levels will less area utilization. |
 |
| One by one we will change the box coordinates on the pallet width so that their corners touch the corners of the layer below. Specifically, we will assign a value of y = 0 to the ones that are located in the uppermost section in the screen and a value of y = 929 -390 = 539 to the boxes that can be seen at the bottom of the screen. |
 |
| We repeat this procedure with all of the interleaved levels until the resulting pallet looks like the graph at right. In this case, corner posts have been placed along with a pallet cap (using the features under the View menu) in order to add stability to the load. |
