| I've downloaded a couple of .dat files from Ldraw that are still unofficial
and copied them to C:\Program Files\Studio 2.0\ldraw\UnOfficial\parts but they
don't show up in Stud.io.
What's the trick?
(I did the same for MLCad where they showed up and were useable, so it's
not a problem with the parts themselves)

The trick is to go to the proper forum at https://forum.bricklink.com and browse
the posts there, or ask there.
The parts don't show up because they are not listed in the StudioPartDefinition2.txt
file, and you can't/shouldn't edit that file as it would break by any
update.
Only resolution for now: ask Cheenzo to forward the specific parts to the team,
or add the parts as custom parts instead.

Making a custom part is indeed the solution and I found a brilliant and easy
solution to do this:

So here's my Studio pic with the IKEA Bygglek box that I was looking for.
