Can someone tell me what the criteria is to create a subpart, instead of
copying the whole code and rotate it a few times?

Any comment welcome.

In general it's the symmetry, the file size or many repeating items of the
part that makes sence to use subparts. In your case you can split it into
4 subparts, each one quarter of the file. So you could save filesize.

Why not 8 subparts?  There are 8 symmetric sections in this part.

If you're going to use subfiles to reduce the overall datasize, go all
the way. :)

Unfortunately, cutting out a 1/8 slice of the part might force some
unnatural cuts.  If this is the case (I think it will be), stick with a
1/4 subfile.

And the rail subfile should be only 1 of the four rails.

(...) That's what i've done this evening. I splitted the main file into one new subfile (32087s02.dat witch re-use the 2865s04.dat file)and the mainfile (32087_mainfile.dat).
