LDrawList is a utility that counts the type, color, and number of parts, but
it doesn't do subfiles, so you'd have to create an inlined version of your
file and then run LDrawList. I'm not sure where this utility came from, but
if noone else can place it, I could send you the zip file.

Keep in mind that minifig scale includes the concept of "selective
compression," which if done well greatly reduces the size of buildings while
still getting the idea across. The "House with Porch" is a perfect example:
compared to a minifig, it would have a small living room and one small
bedroom. But it beatifully conveys the idea of a house. TLG could certainly
make money on a set like that.

| As I was polishing up some of my houses for Datsville, putting backs on them, adding furniture, finishing roofs, outside details, etc, I wound up with a few questions: 1. I know of the 1000 piece limit. Are subfiles counted as one piece, or do the (...) (25 years ago, 7-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad)
