Stud.io files for official sets?

  On bricklink go to the set you want, then part it out to a wants list.

  I've done that, giving me a list of all the parts in the set.  I only want one of the few builds within the set, so don't need all the parts.  Is there an easy way to only add the parts from the builds I need?

  For #75894 Speed Champions Mini Coopers, I went through each step of the building instructions to add only the parts for the small Mini.  I started by parting out the set to a want list, setting all quantities to 0, then incrementing the quantities at each building step when the parts were called for.  I'm hoping there's a better way.

  For older sets you can find the LDD file on eurobricks. LDD files can be imported into studio, although sometimes parts are missing (they weren't available in LDD at the time of the file being created) or some other reason.
  
  I've done this when I want to pull apart a build to see how something works or to 'steal' official ideas for my own mocs.

  Rebrickable has the full set split into subsets for some larger sets with the parts lists for each too. #75894 is one of them, luckily:  https://rebrickable.com/sets/75894-1-s1/red-mini-cooper/?inventory=1#parts

  You can add the subset's parts to a Bricklink Wanted List on this page: https://rebrickable.com/build/set/75894-1-s1/#buy

  I've been building some 1980s sets in Stud.io and putting in modern parts where the older parts are no longer available.  (Doors tend to complicate things and require some significant re-working due to the height change.)  Having a Stud.io model of the original model build available would certainly help save some time...but a parts list doesn't help me with this at all.
  
  I'll have to check Eurobricks for those LDD files and see if they work without missing too many pieces.

  This is a great link, thank you. I didn't know it existed. However, when I click on one of the linked LDD files, my main screen blinks, but I get no download or follow-up popup to download. Using Chrome as a web browser. I was trying to download the Parisian Restaurant and then the Lord Business Evil Lair when the PR didn't work. Any ideas?
  
  Thanks!

  I downloaded a whole bunch of the classic Pirates LDD models from Eurobricks some time ago for doing layout planning in Stud.io. They were reasonably good for that purpose. But I did find them to be less than stellar in some more minor regards. Personally, I much prefer to "build" the sets myself in Stud.io - more accuracy that way, plus I feel like I get some of that building experience. Not quite the same as building with real bricks, but still a level of satisfaction.

  Nevermind. It's a Chrome thing. Works fine in Firefox.

  Perhaps if I have to manually split a set inventory into its sub-builds, I could upload the info to Rebrickable.  If I'm doing the work, might as well share it.  Thanks for sharing these resources.
