Re: New prefixes
I think all the models are great. Quickly tested hinges, rails and texture mapping, very nicely done!

As for the hinges, I prefer the left, darker brown chair - seems more logical to me. Out of curiosity, did you try with all three elements groups of the chair to be hinged? So when you fold the chair, you can also put the chair upright at the same time. But - without trying - I see that triple hinges might just be confusing.

The models are pretty close to perfect in my opinion. Not bloated, nice texture mapping, clean nice design. I cannot really come up with any ideas for improvement.

BTW, I also really like the way the new features have been implemented. Quite impressive that SH3D correctly guessed the axis direction and pivot of the hinges in the few tests I have done. I had expected to do a lot of trial and error to make it work as planned.

ok

PS My personal preference when messing with the .obj files, is to change origin of vertices to 0 and to remove normals. Not only to get smallest possible models, but when adding group names with mirrors, hinges and rails, a bare bone .obj file can be slightly easier to work with. But that is just me, and, of course, means absolutely nothing for your nice final product...
