I find that figuring out the finer details as you go works best ..."Just do
it!" (but with just a little forethought so you know if there will be a
solution to the various challenges along the way.)

I've been trying to work out all the details for a 15 ft plywood sailboat
with a cabin on paper as an exercise. I don't plan to build the boat. It's
frustrating. I was able to make a cardboard model no problem. I have a
clear image of the boat in my imagination. Getting it on paper is a
challenge. Both the cardboard model and the paper plan are abstractions
from a desired reality but the model seems less abstract. I've done some
thinking on mathematical and other abstractions over the years. The best
ones have the simplest set of essential information.
