4.8 Manual Edit

When there are personalized loading requirements, [manual edit] can be used to achieve related purposes. How to use manual edit?

Click [Manual Edit] button at the top to enter the manual editing interface.

1) The left side of the interface is the container list under [Final Loading Stage] and the [Storage Area]. The storage area is used to store goods that cannot be loaded due to oversize or goods that you want to delete;

2) In the middle is the editing area, mainly for editing here;

3) The lower right corner is the diagram and real-time data of the COG deviation;

4) Below the interface are various function buttons for manual edit.

The following introduces the commonly used functions of manual edit:

1) How to move goods

For example, move the last line of goods out of the container and then put it into the container.

First click the cargo to select it, and hold down the left mouse button and drag it out.

When drag it into the container, the goods will jump up when approaches other cargo. Therefore, you should hold down the Ctrl key with your left hand before the jump and drag it into the certain position in the container. Note: red cargo line means it is outside the container; black cargo line means it is inside the container.

2) How to change the position of the goods and change the construction of the loading block

For example, swap the position of C and B

First click B to select it, hold down the left mouse button and drag it out of the container. And then drag C in the same way.

If they should be placed in the gap, construction of the loading block needs to be changed.

So how to change construction of the loading block?

The construction of the loading block can be changed by [Switch Stacking Method] or [Switch Load Orientations] at the lower function bar.

[Switch Stacking Method]: refers to adjusting the construction of the loading block through changing the ranks without changing the load orientations.

For example, C is placed “stand”, and the stacking method is 3*5*3. Click [Switch Stacking Method], and the stacking method switches to 5*3*3 without changing the load orientations.

[Switch Load Orientations]: refers to adjusting the construction of the loading block by changing the load orientations without changing the stacking rank of the goods.

For example, the load orientations of B is “side”, and stacking method is 2*2*2. Click [Switch Load Orientations], and select its load orientations as "stand & rotate". And the load orientation is changed but stacking method remains 2* 2*2.

That is how to change the construction of loading block.

B can be placed in the back gap, but how to judge whether the red C can be placed in the front gap?

First you should make sure the size of block C. You should click C to select it, and in the upper left corner you can see its space range, the length direction is 36.87-186.87, subtracted to get the length of the loading block is 150, similarly, the width is 90, height Is 90.

Then judge the size of the gap, click on the goods behind the gap, in the upper right corner you can see that the length of the goods starts from 150, the front of the container is 0, so the gap position is 150; click the goods on the left side of the gap, and you can see in the upper right corner It can be seen that the width of the cargo ends at 120, and the width of the container is 235, so the width of the gap is 115, which is greater than 90. Similarly, the height of the gap is greater than 90, so it can be placed completely.

Put C into the front gap position, and the positions of B and C are interchanged.

3) How to split or reassemble the loading block

Take the yellow loading block in the middle as an example, select the loading block, and right-click the mouse on the line you need to cut.

It can be cut in the row, column, and layer directions, and the [complete split] is to completely split the block into individual goods.

So how to recreate a new loading block?

For example, reassemble the disassembled yellow blocks into 4 rows, 3 columns and 5 layers, which are placed as “stand&rotate” orientation.

Hold down the ctrl key with your left hand, and use the mouse to select all the yellow goods that have been split with your right hand, and then click the [Create New Block] button below.

In the pop-up box at the lower right corner, define the load orientation as “stand&rotate”; set the number in the length direction to 4; the number in the width direction to 3. Click [OK], and then the blocks are assembled. Move it into the container.

4) How to add goods and containers

For example: Add another 63 C to container 1, and add one container of 40GP.

Click [Add Cargo] below

The pop-up box will display the types of goods in the task and the goods in the database. Find and select C, then fill in 63 in the quantity column below, click OK, and 63 Cargo C are successfully added.

Create it as a new loading block and place it in the container.

In the same way, click the [Add Container] below, under the [Import from Database] tag in the pop-up box, find and select 40GP, and click [OK].

5) How to move goods between different containers

For example, move the last line of goods to 40GP.

Select the last line of goods, click [Move to other Container] below, and select 40GP in the pop-up box.

6) How to delete goods and empty containers

For example, delete the goods in 40GP.

Select the goods you want to delete, right-click the mouse, and click [Delete] in the pop-up box. After the empty container is manually edited and clicked to save, it will be automatically deleted.

7) How to put the goods in the gap, and close to other goods but not overlap

How to do when the goods cannot be directly dragged into the gap?

For example, put the yellow goods in the picture below into the gap.

After selecting the goods, hold down the Ctrl key with your left hand, and click [Move up], [Left] in the [Move] below with your right hand to roughly put the goods into the gap.

Then continue to hold down the Ctrl key and drag with the left mouse button to put the goods in the gap. But when the goods are overlapped and cannot be dragged with the mouse, as shown below

At this time, hold down the Ctrl key with your left hand, and click the movement button under [Move] with your right hand. Sometimes you will find that the cargo will still overlap, and you should adjust the step length of each movement and move again.

Finally, according to the space range, judge whether the goods are only close to others and do not overlap. Select the goods below it, and in the upper right corner, you can see that its height direction ends at 80. And the goods we moved starts from 80 in height direction. Similarly, check other directions.

After manual edit is completed, click the [Save] button in the lower right corner to see the manually edited loading plan.

There are a few tips for manual editing:

1) The line of goods is red, which means it is outside the container; the line of goods is black, which means it is inside the container.

2) When moving goods: press and hold the left mouse button with the right hand to move.

3) When the cargo is positioned: hold down the ctrl key with your left hand, and press the left mouse button with your right hand to move until the position is set and then let go, the cargo will not jump up.

4) When creating a new loading block, hold down the ctrl key with your left hand and click the mouse with your right hand to select multiple blocks.

5) Click the [undo] button to cancel the current operation and return to the previous step.

Finally, there are several considerations for manual editing:

1) The manually edited scheme will be lost once you click the [Optimize] to recalculate.

2) If the goods cannot be removed from the container: This means that the ctrl key of the keyboard is malfunctioning and it is still being held down. Please press this button hard to operate.

3) Sometimes due to the quality of the mouse, the movement of the goods cannot be well controlled. At this time, you can try another mouse.

4) It is relatively unfamiliar and difficult to use the manual edit for the first time. You will find it simple and flexible after frequently using.
