(1) \[Free combination]: no restrictions on the stacking of cargoes, you can use any combination.

(2) \[Place the same cargoes next to each other]: Sometimes in order to facilitate the on-site operation of loading, the same cargoes are required to be placed together when designing the loading plan. It should be used in combination with the \[cross depth].
