Example 39: Multiple Automatic Grids

Arrange separate card and token trays around a fixed dice tray and an existing box.

BGI / EXAMPLE 39Dimensions in mm

Rendered assembled view of Multiple Automatic Grids — The assembled insert.

What to notice in the project file

This section shows how the design combines storage areas:

containers:
  - id: existing-box
    outer_mm: [24, 20, 25]
    side_clearance_mm: [2, 2, 2, 2]
    top_clearance_mm: 2
    rotations_deg: [0, 90]
