Wow! Thats a really good way to approach getting the parts you need. The
part acquisition has always troubled me. I want people to have as easy a
time building the model as possible, and making an MPD file available to
assist this process should be fine. I have some tweaking to do the MPD file
that I would release for this application. Please forgive me that this might
take another day or two.

Thanks James. No rush, please take your time. Ill be up to my ears in
Christmas festivities for the foreseeable future anyway :-) Take as long as you
like.
When you do get around to it (again, no rush!) one thing I found was that Id
have to modify the MPD file to get the Ldraw part numbers to match the Peeron
part numbers used in the inventories. Typically it would be something like
someone used a Tile part in Ldraw whereas the Peeron inventory for my sets
specified Tile w/ Groove parts. Youd end up with it saying youre missing
parts when you really werent. There are also a few parts that simply dont
match between Ldraw and Peeron. The end result was that I would modifify the
MPD to a point that it would work perfect with Peeron but then MLCAD couldnt
find all the parts if I tried to open it there. (I modify a copy of the MPD
with a text editor, instead of MLCAD, since Im doing simple search and replace
work). Anyway, my point is you cant make it perfect but there are a few things
you can do (like using tile w/groove) that will make the MPD more Peeron
compatible.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
