I just noticed that part 30147 does something that I haven't seen done in any other part. It uses the stud primitive in a way that is inside out. This causes a problem in LDView: (URL) Notice the Lego logos are mirrored in the headlight openings, (...) (20 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

As suggested by Neils, I'm moving my inquiries on the basics of parts authoring to this forum. In CAD, I asked how to add a new MLCAD folder to store primitives, sized-up primitives and parts-of-other-parts. The reply was simple enough. It did have (...)
