Note that in addition to the directory structure, official parts should all have
a comment line in them that starts with one of the following prefixes:
0 !LDRAW_ORG PART
0 LDRAW_ORG PART
0 LDRAW_ORG ELEMENT
0 OFFICIAL LCAD UPDATE
0 Original LDraw Part
(Note that these aren't case sensitive.)
Additionally, the current official comment line for people to put into
unofficial parts is:
0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part
This one is pretty common, though:
0 Unofficial Part
So if you find any of the above in the file, you have a part, or a sub-part.

| (...) Hi Travis! Thanks for the input. I'm yet to fully exploit the meta/header data of the files, I've focused on the winding properties only thus far. This will give me greater cause to look deeper into them! Cheers Shane (17 years ago, 3-May-08, to lugnet.cad.dev)
