But LDraw is a dual purpose program.  The original purpose, and one that is
still valid, useful, and needed, is that of a parts reference.  A parts
reference that depends on using TLG part numbers.

What about adding a "reference" catalog to the LDraw tree?

It should be used for LDraw files with _exact_ part-number
relations.

The name could be "LDraw\LEGO", "LDraw\Official", or
"LDraw\Reference" (the last is too long).

Parts like the six long antennae, the 9V motor, and the boat
would appear as colour 16 in "LDraw\Parts", but _also_ in
the reference catalog with a fixed colour (combination).
I presume 3001 would appear as colour 16 in the reference
catalog too (but who knows).

Nobody should feel forced to install the reference catalog.
It should just be a service to the "part number fanatics"
(with apologies for my limited knowledge of English ;-).

Play well,

Jacob

Wow...How nice. I really like this idea. I have been always behind the idea of separating those two universe, but couldn't realise that they could be both "separate" and "together" at the same time. Nice and elegant solution in my side. What's you (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
