Parts Tree Amendment

[Nathan S]

LEGO continues to put out more decorated pieces, and LDraw has put a lot of efforts into creating them for the library.  And of course, this is happening while overall new pieces are also being added.  Given the increase then in the parts library, I was curious if there was any thought given to separating out those decorated parts in the part three.  For example: Brick, Bricks Decorated, Tile, Tile Decorated.  BrickLink has done this with their catalog, and it has been a great help for navigation.

What part tree are you refering to?
We have always had them separated.  "Brick ... with ... Pattern"  or "Part ... with ... Sticker"
Are you perhaps refering to any of the model editors,  like LDCad or LeoCad?

The writing's on the wall for our pattern suffix definitions. We've already bumped into its limitations in some areas.
