#General dimensions are also important to be able to think about how much material needs to be bought and if items are readily available in that size.

Similar to mechanical and electrical, a software project concept drawing might be a rough hand sketch to get general ideas across of what the behavior of the system should have or what the layout of a UI (user interface) might look like but it typically does not have much detail. A detailed design should include:
#All individual parts in the design with thought into how exactly they will interact together (what libraries or APIs are needed to execute a certain feature, what elements are needed in a UI, etc).
#Assembly of all parts and thought into how exactly they will be linked together (backend and frontend data transfer, number of functions, etc) and how it will be hosted (server, local, app, website, etc).
#General data representation is also important to know how much storage is needed or what transfer speed will be possible.
A detailed design can also be a hand sketch, like the concept drawing, but it can also be done using a design software, like [https://docs.google.com/drawings/ google drawings], [https://app.diagrams.net/ draw.io] or [https://www.figma.com/ figma]. See [[Software prototyping|software tools]] for more suggestions.
