• Location - this could be something like x, y, z cooridinates
• Orientation - angle from?
• Piece name - there could be another file that gives descriptions of many standard field elements, for instance PVC pipes.
• Piece modifiers - the particular piece you choose might have several modifiers specified. For instance, with PVC pipes there is length, radius, etc.

Just some thoughts.

--EDIT--
This format would also allow easy tweaking by the user, without the need of much of an external utility. Very nice at the beginning.
