To what extent does the subpart name have to follow the name of the main part?

I've seen and used many variants. The main part name + something in parenthesis, the main part name + something about the subpart (e.g. "without front surface"), something similar to the main part name but describing the subpart instead of the main part, something completely unrelated to the main part, etc.

Some subparts are reused in other parts and this reuse might not be known at the time of authoring the subpart.

What would be the preferred way?

Good afternoon everyone, this is my first post on this forum for me it's all new, I'm still learning how to work with LDCad, I hope I don't say anything stupid, I'm having a problem with some parts that I built, but they don't connect with the rest, I need you to clarify, is there any part construction application compatible with LDCad? I have attached my parts that do not connect.
Thank you for your attention.

I started looking at the Duplo umbrella 40554 because of the nice mathematical shape. However, now I'm clueless of how to proceed.

I have the flat shape in a subfile and have scaled it to follow a hi-res arch of the right size for the outer skin of the umbrella.
The flat shape is just a bunch of lines; 96 line segments. Together they make a terrain type of height map.

The vertex density will need to be reduced (particularly in the middle) without loosing the rigde effect along the eight "spokes" of the umbrella. The lines (or equivalent point mesh) will need to be converted into triangles.

Any suggestions?

Hello everyone!
Is it possible for somebody to make this part in LDraw:

Minifigure, Hair Combo, Hat with Hair, Pith Helmet and Dark Orange Hair in Ponytail Pattern

It appears as a hairpiece for CMF Paleontologist, but it can be useful for modern renditions of Adventurers, like new headgear for Pippin Reed/Gail Storm.

It exists in LDD.

Thank you very much!

cause i have nothing better to do

6516 Moon Walker (US) / Moon Buggy (UK) - 28 pcs. (box) / 29 pcs. (instructions)
Smallest Main Line Set and introduction of the chrome helmet visor, that got used until 2001. Bears a little resemblance to 886 Space Buggy from 1979...

EDIT: Fixed a display error with the front wheel, rotated headlight sub-assembly and wheels into default position.

OMR compliant

Only to prove my point, I have in these files reduced the number of decimals, 3, 2 and 1, and then created rect primitives.
The number of decimals, or the creation of rect primitives, is not the reason for thin gaps.

I challenge anyone to find a gap in them.

The only thing that happens is that there might be a need for some condlines. 
But even they are possible to eliminate as shown in u9563s01- flat no cond.dat.
