This single directory zip file doesn't seem to be a problem for MLCAD at
least. I just made a new sub-directories under /PARTS and called them KNex
& Sploids. I didn't want them to show up in the parts listing so this works
well for me. I can't really speak to brand awareness, but I don't recall
any restrictions on the use of the LDRAW format. I could be wrong, though.
I should probably ask how to best present the library of Contrux(r) parts I
just started making in LDRAW format... Any ideas, anybody ?

PS. FYI, I probably lean towards LEGO purism more often than not, but being
able to design things with other building systems and using elements from
multiple systems in one design intrigues me...

This may be bad news for Ryan Farrington, who not so long ago went to considerable trouble to write some very cool DAT files for K'nex parts, too: (URL) A (...)
