Hello Andrew,
The parts that you add with the Plate Generator are assembled within MLCAD using LDRAW Primitives likes "stud.dat" and quads etc. They are not added as a "part" itself. The primitives themselves are not listed in the part-list as they are within the MLCAD SKIP BEGIN/END bracket.
For models you want to publish I would refrain from using such hand-made parts.
If you need to use them however do the following:
- Create your plate with the Plate Generator
- Save it e.g. "Custom_2x6x2_Plate.dat" in your UNOFFICIAL parts directory
- within LPUB add the following code before the MLCAD SKIP_BEGIN statement:
0 !LPUB PLI BEGIN SUB Custom_2x6x2_Plate.dat
- Still in LPUB add after the MLCAD SKIP_END statement:
0 !LPUB PLI END
This will instruct LPUB to use a different part in the partlist for the items between PLI BEGIN/END
