What are subparts?
Subparts are components of a health care provider organization (i.e. entity type 2) required to be separately enumerated by the NPI rule or who conduct their own HIPAA covered transactions. Health care provider organizations (i.e. entity type 2) also have the discretion to request additional subparts for their organizations. For more information refer to the Subparts page.
Generally, subparts are LDraw files created for repeating structures in parts. For example, if you create a Tile 2×2 with a new top pattern you can use the corresponding subpart, S\2068S01.DAT (it doesn’t have a top face). So you only have to create the top face by yourself and then reference to the subpart for the rest of the part. This saves a lot of time and space.
