(...) Bram is correct.. primatives are exactly what the name implies, general purpose "basic" shapes (spheres, cylinders, studs, etc) that are used by many of the LDraw elements in various ways, scaled to various dimensions... sub-parts are usually (...) (25 years ago, 20-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) A primitive is in the p\ directory, a sub-part is in parts\s\ As far as I understand, a primitive is a general purpose shape, usually with dimensions around 1x1x1 LDU for easy scaling. Sub-parts are usually used by only one part, or for many (...) (25 years ago, 19-Sep-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hello, I know that models can contain subassemblies (if MPD format), and primitives can contain subprimitives, but can parts contain subparts?
