I imagine that it is a bit like the output you get with KiCad when selecting the 3D view of the board. I haven't used that for anything practical, but if nothing else it can be quite nice for showing to other people: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=158780#p158780 I think KiCad exports various model files, although I didn't go to the trouble of exporting and combining them with the casework model for boards of this particular nature: https://stardot.org.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?p=161136#p161136 For the most part, I just simulated component placement by hand and used the different solid geometry operations to see if things were exceeding the available space.
