What is this [view] where the ship is kind of translucent? It isn't wireframe.

Okay, so this is what in 3ds Max we call X-ray vision. And this allows us to see the entirety of the ship, but we highlight certain sections of the ship that are of interest. So this is how we work out essentially where certain things are. And as you can see, ship items are actually in one contained area, which is easier for players to access, instead of them running around different sections of the ship from one end to the other. We saw through this X-ray that it's actually just better to contain them all in one section. And as I say, we can also showcase that everything does fit as well.
