I would also see the ability to put in directives like "model this step
from the bottom since all the pieces go on the bottom" into the .dat
file. (Just like that really :-))

That would be nice.  It'd be easier than making a separate file of the
half-completed part, putting in a series of 0 CLEAR / upside-down view / 0
STEP / 0 CLEAR / right-side up view lines.

To take it one step further you could have sub steps similar to the ones
that TLG uses.

LDAO supports this, to one level (no sub-sub-steps).  Put the subassembly
in a separate DAT file, and reference it with a 0 SUB meta-command.  You
can do multiple sub-steps in a single regular step.

Hello, I was wondering if there is any program that walks through an ldraw.dat file and generates parts lists for each step of the model?
