Confirmed! Well spotted.
Any non-scaling reference to a part is shrunk,
except if the reference is from a part.
A part is currently defined as a file located in PARTS.
"s\3069bs01.dat" (as a path) is located in PARTS.
When the new part was in MODELS, it was not considered as a part.
and its reference to s\3069bs01.dat was shrunk.
When the new part was in PARTS, it was considered as a part,
and its reference to s\3069bs01.dat was not shrunk.
If you had tried to render the new part directly (and not referenced from a model)
its reference to s\3069bs01.dat would have been shrunk,
even if the new parts was in PARTS.
This is because it is specified as the model to L3P, and L3P fails to
see that the model (the new part) is actually located in PARTS.
L3P currently does not recognize "0 Unofficial Part", only files from the PARTS folder
are considered parts. But I'm likely to change that!
Steve, what became of the update to http://www.ldraw.org/reference/specs/fileformat
you posted in http://news.lugnet.com/cad/dev/?n=7283
When I get the handling of "file type" implemented, L3P should be able
to recognize a part in e.g. MODELS or specified as the model,
if you remember to add e.g. "0 Unofficial Part" to your new part.
Good further reading in "Seams like a problem":

| Wanting to confirm one other thing. Is it intentional that a .ldr file with the same name as a part will not actually be procssed and result in a .pov file with only the part? In this case, I was constructing set 4532 and found a pov file with just (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
