Hi Roland,
Very well. In fact, I already do in LPub3D what you are suggesting. The LDCad unofficial meta is the fist entry in the list of unofficial types I check - see below.
As you said, generated content are 'technically' parts so my thinking was why not offer the ability to persist this content as such - respecting conventional LDraw part extension naming.
However from what I understand in your response, using .dat extension and incorporating the LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Part meta are more-or-less reserved for parts that will eventually become official LDraw parts - is this correct ?
Cheers,
