A little more perspective

Triton’s typical fleet table lists the 40-foot high-cube exterior at 12192 × 2438 × 2896 millimeters. This record uses the 2896-millimeter exterior height, not the smaller interior or door-opening height.

The long side view helps identify the 40-foot configuration, but only its vertical height is calibrated in this mode. The generated length is approximate. Closing the doors keeps the same upper and lower structural anchors; stacking another container would require a separate scene object.
