Question about unofficial parts - yeetboii - 2021-05-28

Hello. I have a question about how to get a unofficial part with many sub-parts into LDcad. The part I want is BBB XXL drivers and BBB XXL Blind drivers. To get the part, you have to download many sub-parts and then somehow get them into LDcad. The problem is I don't know how to get all of the parts to turn into the full wheel, in LDcad. Please help.

Hi
Download the ldrawunf.zip from here. (https://www.ldraw.org/parts/direct-parts-access.html)
an save it to C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw\Unofficial
Then create in LDCad under
Prefs -> LDraw -> Search (library) paths ...
a search entry for an unoffical library and restart the program.
Now all unofficial parts should be available in LDCad.
