I could redo the part, slicing it into sections that are 4LDU long. To
properly package, this, each distinct/unique section should be made into a
subpart file, and the main part files would be a list of these subparts.
Taking this approach, 32199.dat, the Technic Axle Flexible 11 would look like:
0 Skinny tip
1 16 -106 0 0 0 1 0 -1 0 0 0 0 1 STUD3A.DAT
1 16 -102 0 0 0 -4 0 4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 -98 0 0 0 -4 0 4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 -94 0 0 0 -4 0 4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 -90 0 0 0 -4 0 4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
0 Mixed Cylinder & Cross-axle end section
1 16 -86 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 faxle1.dat
1 16 -82 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 faxle2.dat
1 16 -78 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 faxle3.dat
1 16 -74 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 faxle4.dat
1 16 -70 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 faxle5.dat
0 Cross axle main section
1 16 -66 0 0 -4 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
1 16 -62 0 0 -4 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
1 16 -58 0 0 -4 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
...
1 16 58 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
1 16 62 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
1 16 66 0 0 4 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 axlehol8.dat
0 Mixed Cylinder & Cross-axle section

1 16 74 0 0 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 faxle4.dat

1 16 82 0 0 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 faxle2.dat
1 16 86 0 0 -1 0 0 0 -1 0 0 0 1 faxle1.dat
0 Skinny tip
1 16 90 0 0 0 4 0 -4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 94 0 0 0 4 0 -4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 98 0 0 0 4 0 -4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 102 0 0 0 4 0 -4 0 0 0 0 4 4-4cyli.dat
1 16 106 0 0 0 -1 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 STUD3A.DAT
At a total length of 220LDU, that's 55 segments.
stud3a.dat is capitalized so that LEdit won't do a stud-as-line number during
editing. Of course, the tip is usually stuck into something, and doesn't
flex, so maybe the entire 'skinny tip' section should just be a single
STUD3.DAT, stretched to fit?
faxle1.dat, faxle2.dat, faxle3.dat, faxle4.dat, and faxle5.dat are all
required because the segments of the end-section are about 3.6LDU, not 4LDU.
axlehol8.dat is a new primitive planned for inclusion in the 2000-01 update.
The only difference between the various flexible axle parts would be the
positioning of the end parts, and the number of axlehol8 segments.
Does this sound about right?
