Auto-tested: tests in the release gate of every build. Real SketchUp: used in SketchUp. In the workshop: actually cut or printed. Simulated: measured on the G-code.
Bad data never gets drilled
Caught 2 D8 holes drawn 22 mm off on real data: location reported, not machined.

Bridges at the edge
Small parts near the edge: the last holding point is always on the inside, tested 6 ways on 77 real parts.
