(...) I thought that much, but as you say, it could be nice:) Now the to the colors of this part, there's three of them, how to handle that? I've thought of making the yellow parts color 16 (I believe I've seen blue versions of this part), and (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Thanks a lot for the above, for a minute I was quite lost, but offcourse, it can't be any other way (the structure, not me being lost:)). I would argue that a new primitive would be handy here, the "connector" for the tubes, since it is (...) (25 years ago, 2-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I don't think "primitive" would be the correct term, but a sub-part (for the parts\s folder) would be. It didn't make sense to sub-part the "nozzle"/"connector" for the pneumatic tube on the air tank, since it is different from the "nozzle" on (...) (25 years ago, 3-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Since they are available with various colors for the cap, it's even more important to do a separate file for each component. But the leaf-files are *parts*, not *sub-parts*. Probably with a tilde on the front of the part-title. Steve (25 years ago, 4-Feb-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)
