Whatever works I guess :)  I was thinking of it in a sense that
as they are building the model and come across an unmade
patterned part that the write what the piece is supposed to be
and what step it is in. I don't think it would take too much
effort
to do this and the add them into errors.dat

But we need to severely minimize the number of incomplete sets.  Read
Ampi's post.  Don't think that we can make anything and everything and put
it up there, there must be standards.

So name it like any other submodel, inline and leave the header?
Seems OK.

Yep.

Should we have another(oh, no not another) way of naming
submodes
that are not TLG, like the above?

No.

Also, last night I was thinking about starting set 6071, but I
was
flipping through the instructions first and:
1. will the baseplate be submodel a or will it be S6071-YY.dat?

Read my post on the final file naming system, no file is named s6071-yy.dat.

2. STEP 3 has a submodel, which has hinges. To physically make
the model, you would have to follow TLG's exact instructions. If
we
want to make it so that the door can be opened, then we won't be
able to build it the way you would physically. Take a look at
the scan
of this set(assuming you don't have it) and you'll see what I
mean.

Hmm.  I think for this particular model its safer to err on the side of
official TLG.  On 6877, it is safer to err on the side of moving parts.  Go
with your gut instinct for each model.

(...) I don't see the point of inlineing any submodels unless they aren't official submodels. If the instructions use a submodel, why inline it? Seems like kind of a waste in making the submodel in the first place... --Bram Bram Lambrecht / o o \ (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) The point is if the submodel does not contain *any* moving parts, why make it a seperate model? Though we do have the available space filename-wise, it does seem kinda silly. But still, either way I guess is about the same thing. -Tim Courtney (...) (25 years ago, 16-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
