Checklist

  • List model formats and representative file sizes.
  • Define what users need to inspect in geometry and metadata.

  • Plan project permissions and sharing rules.
  • Test performance with real model files early.
  • Define the next action after a user reviews model context.
How to use this

Use the checklist to improve decisions before build

A viewer is not enough if users cannot act on what they see.

Performance should be tested with real files, not ideal demo assets.

AI should support specific review or reporting decisions.
