This raises an important question. We should have a standard format for
submodels for the TLG models. MPD or inlining? Given my limited
knowledge, which is more user-friendly? can LDraw/LEdit/LDLite read an
inlined file without the user having to do anything? I know you have to
expand an MPD to the original dat files before you can see the submodels.
Which do you all prefer?

| (...) I'd recommend going with MPD. LDLite will render a (properly formatted) MPD file, and the MPD format allows downloaders the possibility of splitting the file back into its separate pieces. Inline is a one-way operation. Steve (25 years ago, 2-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
