hey /diy/
there wasn't a /sqt/ or qtddtot so I'm creating one with this post.

My stupid question: I have a rough idea for an engineering project but I'm not an engineer. Eventually I'll present my idea to an actual engineer to analyze and correct the numerous mistakes, but before I do that - how detailed should I get with the rough draft of my design? Should I attempt to design it in FreeCAD or would isometric sketches be sufficient? Can mechanical object CAD files be downloaded somewhere so I can "easily" put things together without having to design every part by hand? Thanks for any information you can provide.
