About the user guide

This user guide helps you to know details about the use of the 3D Load Calculator tool that is used in Cargo services. As the name suggests, this tool helps you to calculate the load of your baggage when you enter the dimensions(either Box or Cylindrical) of your baggage.

Introduction

3D Load Calculator keeps the layout of cargo items input and the result will be generated in a sequential manner. Just click the “Create new calculation” button, insert the dimensions and weight, and a cargo item will appear in a 3D load plan preview along with the description left on the box.

Finally, adjust the item count, loading constraints and click the “Load” button. Items will be placed in the cargo space within a few seconds. Your loading plan is now ready. You can define your own cargo space or adjust an existing space before you start the loading process.
