I tried to use BrickUtils as described in this thread and got thoroughly confused. It's probably a wonderful application, but as a novice I couldn't get anything to work, and had no idea how to proceed. So I decided to follow Roland's LDCad online documentation and do some trial & error analysis.
Walt - For your information, my BrickUtils fork was written to generate a single type of LDCad part bin - Sets.
Perhaps this is why it was confusing to you?
You can see my new walkthrough post on how to use BrickUtils to generate a set part bin.
The efficiency advantage of creating a set part bin is the model editor will isolate only the parts needed for the set s/he is modeling which saves a great deal of time over having to search across the entire LDraw part library.
