LDInspector

IMHO, it should be like this.
42023-1 - Construction Crew - Assembly.MPD (containing all three models)
42023-1 - Construction Crew - Dump Truck.LDR
42023-1 - Construction Crew - Excavator.LDR
42023-1 - Construction Crew - Wheel Loader.LDR

Ah, thanks!   Although I had assumed that nowhere the "-1" should appear and the main file containing all three models should be without the " - Assembly", otherwise it could be a secondary model, couldn't it? And as far as I understand the spec, the set name should not appear for all sub-files in an mpd? Summing up, I would have assumed that:

• the filename is "42023 - Construction Crew.mpd",
  
• in this mpd file the first sub-file is the main sub-file named "42023 - Main.ldr",
  • the main sub-file has exactly three part-ref-lines to the three sub-models,
    
• the sub-models are modeled each in separate sub-files:
  • sub-model for the dump truck, named "42023 - Dump Truck.ldr",
    
  • sub-model for the excavator, named "42023 - Excavator.ldr",
    
  • sub-model for the wheel loader, named "42023 - Wheel Loader.ldr",
    
• there may be even more sub-files in the mpd
  • but they are sub-assemblies, not sub-models,
    
  • and should not appear in the main sub-file.
    

Is this plausible, wrong or maybe correct?

Anyhow: as LDInspector checks for file-name-structure, sub-file-name-structure, therefore used numbers and so on, I think the differences between sub-models and sub-assemblies have still to be handled by the user and not the program (but as user I never distinguished this before, so it helps me understanding!).
