What does annoy me is the
spread of “alias” parts and hard-colored parts. The proliferation of
duplicate part numbers is confusing, especially since I haven’t updated my
part browser yet to filter them out.

Depending on their viewpoint and experience with LDraw, different users might
argue that either inclusion OR exlclusion can be confusing. By including both in
the library and providing a way to identify them through a strictly controlled
header format, we open the possibility for applications to customise the parts
list to the users preference.
- The hard-coloured parts do have a unique ‘_’ prefix to the description and
an identifying line 4 ‘0 !LDRAW_ORG Part Physical_Colour ...’, either of which
can be utilised by applications to identify these. The official library
currently includes only 85 such files.
- The aliases have an identifying line 4 ‘0 !LDRAW_ORG Part Alias ...’, but a
duplicate description. Would it help if we introduced a description prefix?
There are currently only 38 such files.
