Hi David Byrden, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Moray doesn't really support this type of editing, i.e. via multiple
MDL files. Your best bet would be to work with visibility levels.

If you do work in Moray and have parts that are the same, make sure
that you use the Duplicate function and check the Reference option, so
that copied objects use references (shallow copies). Doing it this way
makes sure that changes to the master copy are propagated to all the
other copies. The Tutorial Reference Objects covers this.
