How to use a reference route
Choose the route that exposes the closest manufacturing relationships, then replace its assumptions with the actual project drawings. Mark where your geometry differs, which interfaces are fixed and what delivery state you need priced. The comparison is most useful when it narrows the first review to a small set of access, support, sequence and scope decisions.
Do not select a route as if it were a standard product. The customer remains responsible for equipment intent and thermal design. StelTherm reviews whether the requested configuration can be fabricated, assembled, checked and protected within the agreed manufacturing scope.
Use the comparison to expose consequences, not to copy geometry. A different nozzle direction may change fit-up access; a revised support may compete with bundle insertion; a split delivery state may move protection and checking earlier in the route. Record those differences against the controlling drawings, then identify which detail, fixture, sequence note or scope assumption must change. The selected reference stops being useful wherever the actual arrangement creates a different load path, access window, datum or assembly boundary.
A route becomes a publishable case only after the product facts, manufactured scope, images, customer permissions and project narrative are verified for public use.
