Container Details - Unusable Spaces Tab
Click on the main Containers tab, or use the F6 key.
Click on the Unusable Spaces tab.
Cube-IQ allows the user to define three-dimensional rectangular spaces in the Container that cannot be used for loading. Such a space is defined by its co-ordinates in the Container space, and its dimensions. After entering the information, click the Redraw button to display the unusable space. The coordinates are for the back-left-lower corner of the unusable space.
In the example, two 'unusable spaces' have been set up, the first one in the back, left, top, and the second in the front, left, bottom of the Container.
The navigator allows you to add or delete an unusable space, or to discard changes to the current one. You can also delete a whole row by using Ctrl+Delete when positioned in that row.
On this tab you can also set a general unusable space over the whole top of the full container, by defining a 'Not usable height at top'. This effectively lowers the height of the container for loading purposes, but will still count the unusable space in volume calculations.
