Please consider adding an attribute to the lots DB, specifically for parts, that
indicates the part has been custom modified. This could be a physical dimensional
change (e.g. Removing the clip from a plate mod 1x1 with clip vertical, to yield
a basic plate 1x1) or could be parts which have custom engraving to signify events
(e.g. Wedding, engagement, opening of a business, new baby, life milestones,
etc).

The title says 'catalog', but that is slightly misleading. I can't
image actually having a catalog entry for a custom modified part, when in fact
the entire purpose of the attribute would be to use the existing catalog entry
to house these parts, and to allow them to be found/suppressed (as appropriate).

The description would have to contain user entered information about the custom
mod.
