Creating 3D objects to animate on command for a building tutorial - which tools?

Hey there! Longtime PS, Lightroom, Premiere and Dreamweaver user, but now I am being tasked with a new challenge. We have two options for creating a tutorial - 3D modeling, or video. The video I can do, but it involves a crew, a space, tools, editing after, etc. So the challenge here is:
Build the objects in 3D (ie, pieces of a desk)

Put the 3D objects into some kind of timeline animation (Animate?)

Move the 3D objects through perceived screen space to demonstrate how to "build" the desk

Put mouseover or click triggers to pop up notes of importance (ie, "make sure the parts are square!)

Export into an animated format to use in a learning management system.

Bonus - Create a second version that requires the user to click and drag the 3D elements into place to "Build" the desk themselves, as a test.

Is this possible with Dimension + Animate, assuming functional knowledge of both tools? Will I need a 3rd tool for the interactivity portion? 

Thank you in advance for any tips, answers, suggestions, or links to tutorials that can help! If I can do one virtual video successfully, this will change a HUGE portion of my workload and make me a hero at work. 🙂
