Review criteria / budget constraints:

1. Define the model’s purpose.
Describe the meeting or task the model needs to support. A customer presentation, an assembly discussion and fabrication work have different requirements. Agree on the permitted use and who retains design responsibility.

2. Identify authoritative source files.
List drawing numbers and revisions, available PDF or DWG files, existing STEP models and units. Mark superseded files. A measured sketch can start a discussion, but incomplete dimensions remain questions for the client.

3. Choose the assembly boundary.
Name the equipment, included parts and required level of detail. Decide whether internals, fasteners, surrounding structures and installation context are included. A component list helps prevent a different interpretation of scope.

4. Choose deliverables by use.
STEP can support a CAD handoff; GLB can support a browser viewer; STL may support an agreed mesh use. Renders, cutaways and exploded sequences add communication options. File format alone does not establish dimensional suitability.

5. Assign review and open questions.
Name the person who checks the model against the approved documents. Agree on how missing dimensions, contradictory views and technical terminology will be recorded and resolved. Professional approval stays with the responsible qualified professionals.

6. Prepare an estimate-ready brief.
Bring the source list, assembly boundary, output formats, intended use and deadline. Agree on secure transfer before sending drawings. Model complexity, source quality, detail, film outputs and revisions determine the estimate.

Arrange secure transfer before sharing confidential files. Project price, timing, deliverables and review are agreed before paid work.
