How to make volume box full first when item need more than 1 box
Hi Doug.. Thank you for creating this wonderful project. I recently used your project to estimate how much cargo is needed from a list of items in the database. However, after the calculation, there are several cargoes/boxes that are not fully filled in volume even though there are some items that can make these boxes full by volume. Can I make a box full of volume first before stuff is put into the next box?
Thank you in advance

In box/container number 4 only get 43.2% volume and number 7 only 1 item added. I think item in box/container number 7 can added into box/container number 4 and we can saving number of box/container become 6 only.
am i doing something wrong ? or any other parameter must be added into my controller to get more efficiency result ?
Hi @hudaibrhm
Yes, it looks like that last item is certainly not being packed optimally - I'll need to investigate further. Thanks for reporting it
