AFAIK, exactly that was what Components were for, in Bricswork which became early Triforma in 1995. But since then Components became a weirdly mis-named place for Reporting formulae, and is now...

OK, thanks. I'm not entirely sure if or how part assignments should work with 2D linear elements aside from level & symbology. The idea of "rendering" a 2D element (regardless of line style)...
