How to Use Apogee Systems — Cargo Planner

1. Select a ship — type its name in the Ship field. The planner loads the correct hold geometry automatically.
2. Add a commodity — click + Add, search for your cargo type, and pick a colour. Add multiple commodities to plan mixed loads.
3. Pick a container size — choose 1–32 SCU. Use the rotate button to switch between upright and flat orientations for tall containers.
4. Place containers — hover a cell to preview, click to place, right-click to remove. Drag an existing container to reposition it. Press R to rotate before placing.
5. Switch views — Top for a flat overhead plan, Iso for an isometric perspective, 3D for a full three-dimensional view you can orbit.
6. Use layers — the layer buttons at the top switch between floor levels. The planner handles multi-layer containers automatically.
7. Save a preset — name your layout and click Save to store it. Load it back instantly on any future run with the same ship.
8. View the manifest — click ≡ View Manifest to see a breakdown by hold or a shopping list to purchase at a kiosk. Copy it to clipboard.
9. Export / Import — share layouts as JSON or restore them on another device. Your data stays in your browser — no account required.
