You can put them in the MODELS directory. The drawback to this is that you see
all the unofficial primitives as well but this is practically insignificant.
The proper process to do this is:
1. Download the ldrawunf.zip
2. Unzip in a convenient location
3. From the place you unzipped ldrawunf, copy contents of the unzipped parts nad
p directories to the models directory. Them models folder should now have all
the parts/p dat files plus 2 directories: S and 48
When you create a model, make sure you put a copy of the unofficial parts you
use in the same directory as the model file, this will enbale the MPD making
software to find the unofficial parts.
