Bad enough just putting a pipe line list together for the Mosquito (ask me how I know). Doing this for all parts of a B-17 would be a nightmare, though many hands make light work.

My main working scene currently has 23,800+ objects and it's split into multiple files.
The second image is the list of major sub assemblies (yellow) with individual scene files (orange). Numbers next to orange indicate number of scene files.
I've named everything according to the drawings and the scenes are searchable, though it's not CAD and can't really work like BIM.

Many hands do make light work, or one person with enough time.

That is truly amazing! What is driving you on this project? Are you part of a restoration team?

A marvelous subject. I have the academic skills equivalent to a bowl of sphagnum but I look forward to following it, no matter how much I don't understand it.
