That's looking from the manufacturer's point of wiev. I prefer to look at
LDrawing from the builder's. When there are TLG part numbers available, of
course they should be used. But I see no point wasting 3-digit numbers in vain.

Maybe I should, but sometimes I just can't. ;-)

Doesn't save diskspace, but valuable download time. And you're right about
maintainance. Point is taken, I will make 29c.dat a subpart to (currently
suggested) 29a.dat and so on.

Better, but not good. ;o)
Alt 1. If there is a glassless version, it's an individual part. Let's
retitle it to "7930.dat - Door 1 x 3 x 4 without Glass" and use it as
subpart to "7930a.dat - Door 1 x 3 x 4". Ok, I can stand "7930a.dat -
Door 1 x 3 x 4 with Glass".
Alt 2. If not, let's just correct the erratic current official 7930.dat. No
need for yet two more unnecessary files for the sake of Uniformity.
