This gets me closer to the desired result, but it only lists the parts in each
sub-assembly. It does not multiply the parts by the number of times the
sub-assembly is referenced, so it still doesn’t produce a complete list of
parts.
I also tried the Partslist utility on the same site as MPDWorkshop. It does
not recurse into .ldr files and seems to hang on .mpd files.

I just whipped up a program real quick (like half hour quick) that flattens a
model. You can download it here:
http://www.halibut.com/~tcobbs/ldraw/LDFlatten.zip
To use it, unzip it, go to a command prompt, and type LDFlatten
<filename.ext>, where <filename.ext> is the filename of your main dat file.
It will generate a new file called filename-flat.ext, which is a flattened (not
MPD) version of your model. You should be able to get accurate part counts out
of that file. Given the extremly short time spent on this program, I would
strongly suggest copying your model files to a temp directory and running there.
Notes:
- Doesn’t support MPD; if you have an MPD, use an MPD program to un-MPD it
- Doesn’t support geometry outside parts; if your model uses any custom parts, they either need to be in the LDraw/Parts directory, or they need a 0 Unofficial Part comment in their header
- LDraw dir must either be in LDRAWDIR environment variable or set up in the ldraw.ini file in the Windows directory
Let me know what you think. If there is any interest, I might update it to
support geometry outside parts and MPD files.

| (...) This worked great. The resulting part counts correlated with some I'd calculated by hand. The only minor snit I observed was that comment lines show up as "(null)", but those were easy enough to strip out. Thanks, Travis, I really appreciate (...)
