AI Draft to Production-Ready: Refinement Workflow in Skema3D

Move from AI-generated draft to production-ready direction in Skema3D with structured refinement stages and review gates.

Draft speed is only stage one

AI drafts are useful for direction, but production readiness requires structured refinement.

Use distinct stages to prevent early drafts from being treated as finished designs.

Stage 1: directional draft

Generate and select one baseline concept with explicit fit and construction intent.

Do not branch deeply before baseline selection.

Stage 2: structural refinement

Stabilize silhouette, component relationships, and front/back consistency.

This is the highest-impact stage for reducing downstream rework.

Stage 3: validation and packaging

Run 3D validation and capture technical context once direction is stable.

Package the approved state with revision metadata.

Refinement checklist

Before marking production-ready, confirm all gates are complete.

  • Baseline concept selected
  • Structure stabilized
  • 3D validated
  • Technical context packaged
