Places additional packing material thickness below idlers so that they mount perfectly
on the trusses. The software automatically calculates the required packing thickness
for the 3D idler symbols in the model. The packing thickness can be different for
each idler.
A packing plate is a distinct object type in the model and has no relationship to
plates created in the Molded Forms task.
Additional packing is generally required when the belt transitions between a linear and curved profile and the distances vary between idlers and trusses.
