Forcing Attachment to Nodes - PS4

[Clipperride]

It can be tricky, when trying to attach something to the nodes inside a cargo bay, to get everything to line up properly, so it attaches to the node rather than the side of the cargo bay.  When playing on PC you can hit a key that ensures the part you are adding will only attach to an open node.  Is there a similar feature on the console (specifically PS4 for me) version?

There are a limited number of buttons on the controllers, so some editor functions are available in some presets and not in others. Force Node Attachment is available in the Simplified preset. So on those rare occasions when you need it, you have to flip to the Simplified preset and then use the triangle button to toggle the mode on and off. Then you can switch back to your favorite preset to finish the construction. (I just tested it and it works. )

Another swift answer from @bewing thanks!

As you say, you only really need to use Force Node Attachment once in a while (for me, only when placing something inside the MkII cargo bay).  The radial control setup does a pretty good job of mapping the most used keyboard shortcuts, so I'd not tried the Simplified version.  I'm also pleased that they've included "gear up" and "toggle brakes" without needing to access the radial menu.
