OK since the header seems to be a problem I will use set 7130 as an example and I will explain each part of the header in depth. 0 Name: M7130-99.dat 0 Snowspeeder 0 Author: Ryan Dennett 0 Official Model Repository OK line one: M stands for model, it has been used for as long as I have been around. I don't like S for set. line two: The official name of the set; what TLG calls it line three: The person who built it line four: where it came from( maybe on ldraw.org OMR page we could also have a list of contributer's email addresses) Here's an example of a submodel 0 Name: M7103a 0 Snowspeeder Left Wing 0 Author: Ryan Dennett 0 Official Model Repository line one: remove the year and add a letter designating the submodel, that way the model and its submodels are all listed together in LDAO, Explorer, etc. line two: keep the official name, but add what the submodel is line three: same as complete model line four: same as complete model

(...) No. If these models are MPD format, the first line of an mpd is going to be 0 Name: 7140-99.dat to denote the dat filename. A program can easily pick it up once they give model titles to look at the second line. -Tim Courtney ldraw.org Project (...) (25 years ago, 12-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) Ryan and I had decided on M####-, where #### stood for the set number and stood for the last two digits of the year it was released (i.e. M7140-99 for the X-Wing). The date would be replaced by a letter to denote that it is a submodel. (...) (25 years ago, 11-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
