That said, preparation is always very important. Before we get started we do need to make sure we have the following material prepared, in-order to work with the shelf builder platform correctly. Some of these steps are very much like the Steps 1- 3 are the same ones found in the Manual shelf building page, however, we focus more on the automatic shelf building in the later steps…steps 4-5….
Happy speedy building 
Step 1:
Product images. This is critical to the overall process. The product images must be to the following spec:
...
The most important columns in the product sheet are A, I and J. These must be paid close attention.
A / PRODUCT_ID-(REQUIRED) - this is the image file name, i.e. a1, a1123 … This value must be 100% correct to make sure the values in the excel sheet match the product images once they are uploaded
I or J / Width (CM)-(REQUIRED) / Height (CM)-(REQUIRED) - This is the physical dimension of the products in the real world in centimeters.
The system does not need both of these values, but needs one to fully work, naturally, you can set the size of the products in the shelf platform, however, this is a one at a time operation. However, if you have the physical sizes to hand, its simpler to add these to the product data sheet
E / Price-(REQUIRED) - make sure this is numerical only and does not also contain the currency symbol as part of the cell value
Step 3:
Uploading all the material to the platform. This is best illustrated in the video below. We will cover all the points above, as such, please make sure you read the above first.

All the files you need to have a play with are accessible here:
Step 4 - Using the Auto layout sheet:
We need to prepare the auto_layout.csv file to make sure everything is setup correctly. This CSV file, tells the shelf builder platform where to place a product, on what bay, shelf etc..

Here is a quick video to explain this Auto_builder.csv file:

5 - Using the Auto layout sheet::
Prepare the floor scene, you can not simply import this file into the platform. You will need to first create the skeleton bays and shelves before anything can be populated.
