Using "main-" and "alt" gives us at least three more characters for referencing
submodels and sub-submodels. I think Bram's idea of
main-a main instructions, model "a"
main-aa main instructions, model "a", sub-submodel "b"
main-ab
main-b
main-ba
altA-a first alternate model, model "a"
altA-aa
altA-ab
would work just fine. For this purpose model would mean a separate physical
entity within a set, such as separate pod-racers, while sub-model would mean
any component of the model, either sub-models in the instructions, or
sub-models needed for rotating movable sections.
Now that gets me thinking about how to do alternate models. I don't think all
the alternate models should be bundled with the main model into one giant .mpd
file. I think there should be an .mpd file called Sxxxx-yy with all the main
model stuff in it, then a file called maybe SxxxxAyy for alternate model 1,
SxxxxByy for alternate model 2 etc. All the subfiles could still go in a
single directory called Sxxxx-yy.
