Add Item to Load Plan

Use the '+' button to add a specific item to the load plan one by one. If any property of the item is changed, the button becomes inactive, because the item is expected to match exactly with the version already placed in the load plan. Clicking 'Revert' restores the item's original properties and reactivates the '+' button.

Position Items

Items can be selected with a single left-click, after which their position can be modified. To exit selection mode, press Esc or click an empty space to cancel the selection.

Rotate Items

In Manual Placement mode, clicking the 'Placement' button once activates rotate mode for the selected item, showing rotation arrows that let you rotate it freely along the X, Y, and Z axes. Clicking the same button again (now 'Rotate') switches back to placement mode so the item can be repositioned instead of rotated.

Auto Rotate On / Off

A dedicated button enables or disables Auto-Rotate. When active, the selected item is automatically rotated while being moved so it fits the available space regardless of its original orientation. When off, the system prevents placing the item where it does not fit and does not rotate it automatically during repositioning.

Delete Item or All Items

Two buttons in Manual Placement mode allow deleting one or multiple items: one removes selected items from the load plan, and the other removes all items from the load plan.

Continue Button

If existing item counts are increased and/or new items are added to the item panel, a Continue button appears on the Load button. Clicking Continue automatically includes any remaining items in the load plan in the most optimized way, without disturbing any manually adjusted items.

Tutorials

Tutorial videos can be accessed from the 'Tutorial Videos' button in the profile menu at the top-right corner of the page. Interactive in-app tutorials are available from the same profile menu via the 'In-App Tutorial' option.

Improvements

Performance was improved for textures, the ruler, fonts, and the rotation cube, and save speed was increased. The grid was removed from images in the Report screen, and the '+' and '–' buttons were removed from the item panel. The 'Loaded / Not Loaded' labels are now 'Loaded / Remaining' and show real-time counts, and the center of gravity height is displayed.

Full save support was added for all item rotations. The center of gravity, load, remaining distance, available space, and axle data update automatically based on any changes made, and relevant warnings are displayed where necessary.

The bottom line

v0.8 makes manual placement a first-class part of CargoLoader3D, with hands-on control over each item plus a Continue option to optimize the rest. For questions or feedback, contact [email protected].
