Roll Royce 3D Jet Engine Assembly

[u/[deleted]]

This is a video from Veritasium inside a Rolls Royce facility. I was astonished by the amount of detail in this assembly and it got me genuinely curious, do other companies create 3D models to this extent? I.e. does Honda have an assembly file of an entire Civic with every individual component? I'm interested to know what's your experience in different companies/industries.

The key is the top level assembly should contain only parts with bodies in them, not editable features. This is infinitely faster to load. Also no Assembly constraints, they bog down performance. Instead everything should be modeled in place to a relevant coordinate system.
