What to notice in the project file

This section shows how items share one storage space:

groups:
  - id: shared-stack
    layout: stack
    gap_mm: 0
    members:
      - {requirement: cards-1, orientation: flat_xy}
      - {requirement: cards-2, orientation: flat_xy}
      - {requirement: dice, orientation: xyz}
