PS. L3P currently does not recognize "0 Unofficial Part", only files from the PARTS folder

(i.e. currently a part like the first one mentioned above will not be shrunk at all)

Actually, the part mentioned was in the Parts directory (it is an official
part), so it would presumably be shrunk by L3P.

Oh, I meant the first one *I* mentioned, not the 751.dat :-)

As for the rest, I agree that making them primitives makes sense, but I'm
not sure the part authors will agree.  I guess we'll have to see how they
respond.

Well, after second thoughts and various comments from you guys,
I think we should keep segments in PARTS.

  On the other hand, if the two end pieces and the
curve segments are all referenced from one file which itself is given a file
type comment indicating it is a part, LDView should happily do the shrinkage
of the whole union as you described, since I don't allow parts to be
children of other parts.

Yup, I agree, that is the solution.
The curve generator should generate a new part (or an MPD subfile).
I also seems logical to treat the whole curved thing as one part.
