In this method, client-specific configuration data are collected, a type-specific, two-dimensional layout is selected, and this layout is adapted in terms of the conveyor height in accordance with the configuration data.

The latter is overlaid with fields of defined structure, wherein the resulting overlaid layout serves as a starting point for arranging profile bar datasets in the three-dimensional space.
