Extract Individual parts from large addons

[Zosma Procyon]

Are there any established ways to just install individual parts from larger addons, like one or two the engines from the Near Future propulsion or the rumored electric props from the zeppelin parts pack?

Well for the most part yes  but it may take alittle work just depends how the cfg are wrote some have a set path in those cases one would have to re-write the new path some would be just fine moving them to there new home 

ones that have to be re-written would like 

	MODEL
	{
		model = *******/******/*****/****
	}

if you see that in the cfg pretty much mod fold name and path in the fold to the mu and the mu have the path to the textures

And if you look at Near Future cfgs you will see 

	MODEL
	{
		model = NearFutureAeronautics/Parts/Engine/Atomic/nfa-atomic-jet-25-1
		position = 0.0, 0.0, 0.0
		scale = 1,1,1
		rotation = 0, 0, 0
	}
	MODEL
	{
		model = NearFutureAeronautics/Parts/Engine/Multimode/nfa-engine-endcap-25-1
		position = 0.0, 1.54, 0.0
		scale = 1,1,1
		rotation = 0, 0, 0
	}

and on engines you would want to check the FX path  you might see 

	EFFECTS
	{
		power_open
		{
			AUDIO
			{
				channel = Ship
				clip = NearFutureAeronautics/Sounds/broadswordclosed_loop
				volume = 0.0 0.0
				volume = 0.05 0.0
				volume = 0.7 1.0
				pitch = 0.0 0.2
				pitch = 1.0 1.0
				loop = true
			}
		}

The inverse option - excluding parts from large packs - is fairly well supported:

If you want just one or two parts from a large pack the above can do it, though you have to manually exclude everything else.
