Sirine Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 During VAB design sometimes we move our craft and somehow it just go off-sided abit.Any way to move it back to the 'center' original place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thogapotomus Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 It can be difficult to return it to it's original place, but if you hold shift while holding right mouse button and dragging, you can change the point at which the camera pans around. This way, even if you can't re-align it perfectly, you can center the camera on your ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.Random Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 If you don't have too many parts radially attached to main one: disconnect parts attached to it (don't delete, just disconnect; basically, it should be "everything above" and "everything below"), delete main part, then select it from parts tab again. New main part will be in the center. Reattach previously disconnected parts. To move it up/down while keeping it in the center, click it and scroll while holding shift.

Kasuha Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Make your view horizontal and place it to about half the ship height. Look straight towards the door and Alt+drag the ship to the middle. Then look from the side and again Alt+drag the ship to the middle. It may not be perfect but it is usually good enough.

Look at the floor!On the floor of the VAB is a circle. This circle is the exact center and roughly the same size as the launch pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snark Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 The question was asked and answered eight years ago, and presumably everyone involved in the conversation has long since moved on to other things. Accordingly, locking the thread to prevent further confusion. Thank you for your understanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
