Yes, you are making more sense now. HAVE you looked at the
instructions
for the set in question? In this case the biggest reason for
inlining as a
submodel is because the pieces are going to be anchored in place
and not
movable. Also when the submodel is placed in the instructions
all the pieces
are visable, so there isn't the need for a submodel because you
need to be
able to see what parts are being used. If the submodel was
partially hidden
from view then I would say to keep it as a submodel(not
inlined).
The biggest reason for keeping it as a submodel(not inlined)
would be because
it is an official submodel.
I think it really could go either way.
