Sure -- I'd say an accurate ldraw file is a very detailed document,
specifying exactly what is in a model, and how it's put together.

You can manually step through any model file; in MLCAD, change your
settings to only display up to the selected part, and use the PgDn key
to move through the file.  Assuming the file is more-or-less in order,
