Creating an object is causing craft to explode

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm trying to create a pointer to be used to adjust a camera position.  My problem is that when the pointer happens to be over a part, there are collisions,  Here is the code:

public static class UI
{
	public static GameObject CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType type, Color color, Vector3 scale, bool isActive, string name = "", string shader = "Diffuse")
	{
		GameObject obj = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(type);

		var renderer = obj.GetComponent<Renderer>();

		renderer.material.color = color;
		obj.transform.localScale = scale;
		obj.SetActive(isActive);
		obj.name = name;
		renderer.material.shader = Shader.Find(shader);
		obj.layer = 10;
		return obj;
	}
	public static Color GetColorFromRgb(byte r, byte g, byte b, byte a = 255)
	{
		var c = new Color(r / 255f, g / 255f, b / 255f, a / 255f);
		return c;
	}
}

      
orientationPointer = UI.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Cylinder, orientColor, new Vector3(0.025f, 0.4f, 0.025f), false, "Orientation Pointer", TransShader);
orientationPointer.SetActive(false);
          
orientationPointer.transform.position = dcm._camera._moduleDockingNodeGameObject.transform.position;

orientationPointer.transform.rotation = dcm._camera._moduleDockingNodeGameObject.transform.rotation;
Vector3 v3 = dcm.cameraPosition;

orientationPointer.transform.position += dcm._camera._moduleDockingNodeGameObject.transform.rotation * v3;
orientationPointer.transform.rotation = dcm.vessel.transform.rotation; ;
orientationPointer.transform.rotation *= Quaternion.LookRotation(dcm.cameraUp, dcm.cameraForward);

orientationPointer.SetActive(showOrientationPointer);

I'm guessing that the object being created somehow has colliders, and when set active they collide with the craft.

How can I prevent this from happening?

Just an FYI, the code is mostly taken from the NodeHelper mod.

 

I'll add that when I first created it, the location was not correct and I saw the cylinder to the side, when I fixed the location, the vessel exploded.

Thanks in advance

Solved.

For anyone who might be interested, it was simply a matter of disabling the collider:

 Collider m_Collider = obj.GetComponent<Collider>();
 if (m_Collider != null)
 	m_Collider.enabled = false;
