Please add an optional field to part config "MODEL" sections to list mesh objects to ignore

[NecroBones]

 

I have many cases in my part mods where I want different parts to share the same models, with one or more mesh objects disabled so that the parts can share some mesh objects but not others. Or I'm allowing people to optionally install a mesh-switcher mod (either Firespitter or InterstellarFuelSwitch), and if they don't install those mods, then meshes need to be disabled for a stock-like experience. Currently the only way to disable a mesh in the stock game is to assign it like an engine shroud, but use an attachment node that's positioned somewhere outside the VAB/SPH editor so that it's effectively disabled. However, this results in extra "Shroud" enable/disable buttons in the right-click menu in these editors.

 

The cleanest solution would be to have the "MODEL" section have an optional field where mesh objects could be listed that are to be ignored.
