Editability and Design Intent
Validate Editability After Import: Change Tests, Update Tests, and Exit Criteria
Test whether imported CAD supports the required edit, update path, dependencies, and downstream result in the target system.

Ecosystem Routes and Collaborative Exchange
Route Dossiers: How to Make and Read a Defensible CAD Exchange Claim
Use a repeatable route dossier to separate format capability, product support, preservation evidence, and task-specific acceptance.
Validation, Exchange Control, and Long-Term Reuse
Conformance, Validation, and Fit for Purpose Are Different Claims
A precise vocabulary for interpreting a valid file, a conformance result, a preservation check, and downstream-task acceptance.
Validation, Exchange Control, and Long-Term Reuse
Scope USD, USDZ, and glTF Validation Checks
Choose and report validator checks for USD/USDZ and glTF assets without treating a clean report as proof of package completeness or task acceptance.
Validation, Exchange Control, and Long-Term Reuse
Check IFC Information Requirements with IDS
Turn project-specific IFC information needs into a machine-readable IDS specification, then distinguish specification checks from model and geometric acceptance.
Validation, Exchange Control, and Long-Term Reuse
Preflight a 3D Tiles Delivery and Report What Was Checked
Record 3D Tiles validator coverage, package inputs, omissions, and recipient checks before treating a tiled delivery as usable.
Product Structure, Identity, and References
Accepting a Product Structure Transfer: Checks for Reuse, Update, and Archive
Build a purpose-specific acceptance record for a transferred product structure, including hierarchy, identities, configurations, placements, and dependencies.
Geometry, Topology, and Mesh Fidelity
Geometry Repair After Translation: Diagnose First, Change Deliberately
Use a controlled, evidence-led repair path for unhealthy imported geometry while preserving the original and validating every intervention.
