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:

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

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.
