Is there a way to install unofficial parts in LDcad without downloading the entire unofficial parts library?

I have the parts I want, I tried putting them in folder structures like

/Unofficial/ldraw/Parts (as it is in the 'Complete' Zip that LDcad draws from)

I went into LDcad, Preferences, search and added the new folder/s (I tried many different file structures) as described here:
http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/faq#faq_unoflib

I restarted and all that, I just cant seem to have the program find these parts, to see if it has them I open LDcad, go to search and search the exact part numbers as their files are named such as
"24196"

Anyone have any ideas?

Thank you in advance.

I want to create some unofficial parts like paper plane, egg......
I open the .dat file for some official parts and find there are many subfile under the simple model. It is hard for me to create the unofficial parts like it. Is there any tools or good way to create it?
Thanks for your help and comments.

Hey all, so I really love Ldraw and this community and I'd like to help it out some as well as get some parts I've been looking for. Thing is, I am in a truck 24/7 and really don't have the time to learn to be a parts author, plus a bouncing mouse is hard to work with.

What I do have (well, I will soon) is a little spare cash, My idea is to buy some sets off ebay and have them mailed to a parts author for replication in Ldraw who would then mail the sets back to me. I figure this is important because a lot of the parts I'm interested in would need a 3d scan or being able to work with them directly.

Things like: 

Stingray helmet
Sting ray disk decal designone
Elves Dragon and animal heads

There's sure to be a lot to work out in order to make this work so I thought I'd get started on it before I was ready to buy some sets. Should be a month or so before I can start doing this.

Because I'm opting to send a few hundred dollars worth of parts to a relative stranger, I would need the community to vouch for any parts author interested in working on this. With one exception, my preferred choice is [b]Philippe Hurbain[/b]. As the administrator of this site and a man who has already volunteered his free time to make me, a relative stranger some parts I feel if this idea has any hope of working then he's gotta be in good standing.

That being said, I wouldn't even humor this idea except that everyone here seems to be trustworthy, the community seems like a place of people who like to help out. Anyone interested in this idea should respond so we can work something out.

I should mention that because these sets can be pretty pricey, I'm not really volunteering to buy sets on request. I just want to fill out some classic sets from my childhood and some of the new ones I think are really cool.

Thank you, anyone who takes interest in advance.

just a note to any one who is involved with the construction/maintenance of LDCad. The friends and Elves heads are found divided between two directories 'Figures' and 'Mini-Figures', if there is a way to put them in one category (hopefully with relative ease) I'd appreciate knowing it or having it in the next version, either or.

Personally I think they make more sense in figures than mini-figures given their unique design but that's just me.

Thank you for your time and work on such a great program, I love LDCad.
