(...) We could go that route, just have the two halves and no shortcut. The important thing is this would still be an accurate use of the numbers, but without carring it to the logical extreme and having the complete part. (...) True. Note that in (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Won't changing the length change the ease of modeling? Currently, you can line parts up (such as connectors or bushings) to the end of the axle because when lined up corectly, they share a common plane. If you make the axles shorter, this (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I wonder -- are there color-specific part numbers for the dinghy, because it is a compound element? So if we publish two sub-files, and no shortcut, we skip the whole issue. But not publishing a shortcut seems really lame. The "part" is final (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Just to be a pain: there are existing 'glued-together' parts in LDraw with sub-files for each component part and a main short-cut file for the whole thing. Two that spring to mind are the 2x2x11 pillar and the classic 2x4 plate hinge. (...) (...) (26 years ago, 9-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
