Anyone know of a precise attachment mod alternative to Editor Extensions?

[b0ss]

Just looking for a mod that does some stuff similar to Editor Extensions. Mostly functionality for attaching things to an exact longitude of a part, widgets for aligning radial parts, and properly working angle-snap that puts things perpendicular to the surface, as well as a linear analog of the radial symmetry tool. Is there any such mod that can do this or that can be configured to do so?

[Gaarst]

Part Angle Display to rotate stuff, Hangar Grid to align stuff, Part Wizard for misc stuff are useful mods to make building things easier.

Editor Extensions is a good mod for what you're looking for, any reason in particular to not use it?

Editor Extensions just seems... incomplete, I guess. It's quite good but does things a little differently than I'd like. i.e. something that visualizes every vertex of the part geometry (or every other vertex, or every fourth vertex, etc.) and snaps the the parts to that vertex to allow for absolute mathematical control over a craft. This would be handy for wheels especially, I think. It also doesn't have any multi-vertical tools that work like the stock symmetry tool. Basically, it doesn't really cure the tedious stock "wiggle it until it's good enough" craft building experience

 

I'll take a look at those mods you linked though, thanks

I believe Hangar Grid has a debug mode that shows vertexes - however beware of FPS drops!

@b0ss I don't think any mod does that. All attachment is done via the invisible colliders and not the actual mesh.

The colliders still have vertices though
