[Mounting tanks around a tank is SOOOO FRUSTRATING!]

It can be pretty fussy.

Normally if you attach the tank to something else before trying to radial mount it it helps, trying to radial mount a tank fresh from the pallet often doesn't work.

What do you suggest mounting it to before trying to radial?

I'm trying to follow a tutorial that directs me to build this: http://wiki.kerbalspaceprogram.com/w/images/4/41/LF_Laythe_CF.png

I'm finding it super super frustrating to mount the orange tanks to the middle orange tank. I've literally spent 2 hours trying to get the things to attach - finally quit the game in frustration.

Anyone got some tips on how to accomplish it? For what it's worth, I tried following the guide in the How to forum but to no avail.

[How to place tanks radially in 0.18.4+ and the 0.18.3 Demo.]

Hmm, I'm running into this problem as well, but your little guide hasn't helped me get any closer. I'm trying to attach tanks radially to a TT-70 Radial Decoupler... holy cow it's frustrating! Any other tips or perhaps more details to your approach?
