Proposed new LDRAW_ORG qualifier for Lsynth subparts

[Travis Cobbs]

We frequently discuss the anomaly of placing files representing subsections of flexible parts in the LDraw Parts folder to facilitate manual and LSynth construction of flexed renders.

The current header standards do not permit a '0 LDRAW_ORG Subpart' line in the header of a file in the parts folder.

I am proposing extending the header spec to allow a new quaifier to allow these files to be identified with a line like

Code:

0 !LDRAW_ORG Part Flexible_section UPDATE YYYY-NN

Any concerns?

I'd have to test, but LDView might mistake the sub-parts as parts. If the composite part using the sections isn't detected as being a part, LDView would add seam scaling to the sections, which would be bad. Simply having the files in the official parts directory might trigger the same thing, though. I can't remember.
