What is the proper/preferred way of subfiling for patterns regarding symmetric parts?
Option A1
main part contains front face and any surface/edge which cannot be in the half, halves have mirrored symmetry
subfile contains only one half
Option A2
main part contains front face and any surface/edge which cannot be in the half, halves have rotational symmetry
subfile contains only one half
Option B
main part contains front face
first subfile contains complete part without front face
second subfile contains one half
Option C
main part contains front face
subfile contains one half and half of anything that is shared among the halves
I've understood that option C (splitting quads, boxes, etc) is to be avoided.
Options A1 and A2 would leave a bunch of lines in any patterned part file, while option B increases the number of files to be reviewed. Using rotational symmetry in the subfile reduces the amount of lines that need to be in the parent part. I've understood that mirroring is preferred over rotating (subfiles).
