This plugin allows for parts to have hollow insets that dont clip into other parts, ideal for engine nozzles, landing gear, air intakes, solar panel bays, and more. It is a standalone version of the depth mask module included in the Restock dll, along with the addition of depth masks to several stock parts ModuleDepthMask 1.1.2 requires KSP 1.11 or later. If you are using an older version of KSP, please use version 1.1.1. Downloads Source Code Usage Add a depth mask mesh to your part model. It should cover up the hollow area you want to prevent clipping in, without sticking out. Mark the depth mask object with the Icon_Hidden tag to prevent it from showing in the VAB part picker Add a new ModuleDepthMask to your part config Add the name of your mask object in the maskTransform property (Optional) Add the name of the object you want to restrict the mask effect to in the bodyTransform property An example config: MODULE { name = ModuleDepthMask maskTransform = mask bodyTransform = interior //Optional } Creating the depth mask model The depth mask will prevent any other parts from rendering behind it. Because of that, it should not be used on any kind of bay where other parts will be placed, or on any part you can look completely through. It also shouldn’t "bubble" out above the hole you want to cover, otherwise it would be possible to see through it from the side. Also double check your normal direction, since the depth shader only works one way.
