Seperating Struts?

[TYRT]

I have a shuttle project and i have to seperate only struts, do you guys have any suggestion? Thanks.

It's a strut connected like below:

Put decouplers or docking ports underneath the struts.

I'm confused. If the struts connect two seperate stages they will auto-disconnect upon staging. Also, if you undock a craft that is strutted to the main "mothership," the struts will auto-disconnect again.

Unless it's for purely aesthetic reasons, but even then the struts disappear once they're disconnected. You can't actually see struts that aren't connected to anything.

So...I guess I don't really follow why you would need to disengage the struts independently...

Thanks man i tried decouplers, but docking ports are properly working.

I use Extraplanetary Launchpads which allows an Engineer to scrap parts. I have a space station project with an engineer on board whose sorry task is to saw off all the struts on the hab modules I fly up to the station. Works like a charm though If you need to get the strut off during staging you could either use the suggested strut to decoupler.

If the only other connection between the two parts is either a docking port, or a separator, then the struts automatically sever when the main connection is broken

If there's a reason you want to break the struts without separating the main parts (aesthetics?), you'll need another solution, obviously.
