SubFile resolving

[Travis Cobbs]

The file stud.dat is a primitive, and is in the p/ subdirectory of the LDraw parts library. File loading in LDraw involves a kind of search path. The standard search path is as follows:

• . (the main model's directory)
  
• <LDraw Dir>\p
  
• <LDraw Dir>\parts
  
• <LDraw Dir>\models
  

LDView and some other programs add the following after the above:

• <LDraw Dir>\Unofficial\p
  
• <LDraw Dir>\Unofficial\parts
  

If your project is in C/C++, you might consider using's Lars C. Hassing's LDrawIni code to find sub-files. (LDView uses this.)
