Crew Capacity on modded part

[Tyko]

I'm trying to create a part with crew capacity. Adding the MM cfg line "CrewCapacity = 1" works, but only partially. I can add a crew member in the VAB, but on the launch pad that crewperson doesn't show in the crew windows at the bottom. Also, this is a new Lab part, so the right click menu on the Lab shows it's unoccupied even if I placed a Scientist there in the VAB.

Interestingly, I can transfer a Scientist into the Lab on the launch pad and then the Lab shows as occupied, but the Scientist disappears from the crew windows.

The full cfg file I wrote is below. I'm reusing @RoverDude's model, not sure if that would matter somehow. Thanks for your advice

Does this lab has a IVA?

No IVA. I'm reusing a part from USI-LS which didn't have any crew capacity, so no IVA. Does it need an IVA in order to have crew capacity?

EDIT: oh! if I don't have an IVA does that prevent the crew picture from showing up because there's no internal to show in the background?

Probably yes. You can reuse one of the stock IVA as a placeholder for testing.

That worked! Thanks very much
