The hand work is generally adding keywords, sometime I do only portion of the part and I add other primitives (like the

Sometimes, I only modelise a portion of the part that is duplicated (like in the Supercar wheel and tyre) I then remove
the invisible triangles that are inside the complete part.

The best place for part is to post them in lugnet.cad.dat.parts.
