Hi Matt,
(answering here for this and for your pm...)
There is absolutely no problem for using parts and subparts, even unofficial, for any purpose you want (see https://www.ldraw.org/article/227.html for more details).
As for using 42531 with Studio, you can use the part itself and don't need to rebuild it from subparts. Place 42531.dat in your CustomParts\parts folder, and both subparts 42531s01.dat and 42531s02.dat into CustomParts\parts\s folder. 42531 will then be avalable in Studio custom parts palette.

Phillipe,

thanks for for the response.  That’s good to know.  I’ll read up on the article you sent.  Also, thanks for the tip on including the part file directly in the program.  I did learn a bit about part editing while using PartDesigner, but I get the feeling it’s not optimized for complex parts like these. I need to get cracking on updating my files!

 Cheers, Matt
