I have a connector model to which I need to add multiple heights, how can I do that In Allegro PCB editor ? I used package_heigt_min & package_height_max but that didn't help.

    Placf bound are 3D cube; you can have as many place bound that needed in order to describe the component volume.

    Example: imagine a component touching pcb on left and right side but starting from 2mm betxween thoses two side: both side will be drawn with individual  place bound with only the "max heigth" value and the intermediate part will be draw with a place bound having "min heigt" to 2mm and mmax heigth" same as the two others place bound.

    In fact you make a "cube" construction in order to describe the component volume.
