'''Parts''' can be found in ''SCS Parts'' sub-panel inside ''SCS Object'' panel in ''Object'' tab of Blender properties window and provide a kind of grouping system for Model and [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Locators|Locator]] objects. They are usually used in defining [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Variant_system|Variants]] but, in [[#predefined_part_names|special cases]], they are also used to define parts of the geometry that will be treated differently than the rest of the model.
Every object in a scene belongs to some Part. Even in cases when we don't need to use Parts, there is always a Part name assigned to every object in a scene. The default name is “defaultpart”, but it can be changed any time. If the active object is not parented to any [[Documentation/Tools/SCS_Blender_Tools/Terminology_and_basics#SCS_Root_Object|SCS Root Object]], then it is not possible to set the Part name for that object and panel won't be visible.
