> I’ve been working on this library for a while now, and just made the repository public. Originally based on the [FactoryPacks](https://inductiveautomation.com/exchange/113/overview) project from the Ignition Exchange. Once Flintium is stable, a version will be posted to the Exchange, but for now, feel free to try out the working version on Github. The project needs input from this community! For information on contributing, please see the [Contributing](https://github.com/jlbcontrols/Flintium/wiki/Contributing) Wiki page. Anyone is welcome to post comments, feature requests, and report bugs on the [issues pa…](https://github.com/jlbcontrols/Flintium/issues)

It should highlight a specific user that experienced problems with a large project using native PlantPax AOIs.

Most of the PlantPax users that I know don't use the raw PlantPax instructions... they are WAY too bloated. For example, I used PlantPax as a base but then stripped out all of the unnecessary RA garbage and spun the code the way I wanted. I am biased, but I think the code turned out better.

If you are worried about keeping the instructions intact so they are easy to maintain for if/when RA releases updates, then just use them as-is, but if your project is large you will need a beast of a system to keep up.

I don't think you have a warm/fuzzy on how things should really work. I say that because you mentioned the size of P\_AIn. Who cares how big it is? You would never copy the entire thing over as you don't need to. Ignition doesn't care, nor need access to a lot of the AOI members.

I recommend that you spend some time planning things. Perhaps looks at the Flintium stuff for inspiration, or just use them as they are. I don't think they ever finished though so you would probably need to finish them.
