Tips:

There are times when you may want to temporarily disable collisions to avoid displacing other items while placing n accessory. Hold the C key pressed while dragging the item to achieve this. Collisions can also be entirely disabled in Collisions (Settings), or for specific accessories in Collisions (Item properties) in case they must overlap.
If you have room elements in your project, you may want to hide them while working with products, so the walls are not blocking the view of shelving (consult View the room).
Margins have no effect on accessories in Parameters (Selected shelves) and in Parameters (Selected back panels): accessories can always be placed on the whole surface of shelves and back panels.
Max. of products on width has no effect on accessories: you can place as many as will fit on the shelves or back panel.
