Is there a way to make upper and lower width different (sort of  trapezoid form)? Can't I just find a proper gizmo or is it not implemented?

Like this

I have it sideways, and the top and bottom widths are different sizes. the length is how tall the shape is, and the width in this case is how long it is

also, i just realized that this can be used to make pretty good hexagons, by taking two of them, and putting them with the largest faces together

That's brilliant, but you can't have curved edges that way.

[amarius1]

so this is the new Procedural Parts huh

[JcoolTheShipbuilder]

hmm... it would be cool if this mod had compatibility with interstellar fuel switch

[Gordon Dry]

Nobody mentioned FAR yet, so how does it behave with FAR?

[Acvila]

can you add cargo bays to this mod? is it possible?

far is supported

Question regarding drag.  If one were to tweak some fuselage parts to be in the shape of a Mk 2 profile, will it perform in the same way.

A more general question is, how is drag and lift calculated? I’m referring to stock, not FAR

As for stock, the mod calculates part's drag cube using a built-in KSP API called "DragCubeSystem.RenderProceduralDragCube(Part p)". A drag cube describes all aerodynamics of a part.

It's very likely that the rendering process will take account of part's shape, but I haven't researched the difference bettwen calculated drag cubes using custom shaped parts and stock parts' ones.

Please make a cargo bay

[linuxgurugamer]

I'm working on adopting this, have contacted @CarnationRED about it.

While it is bug-free, I'll be adding a whole bunch of textures, and maybe a few QOL if I find any

[Kerburettor]

Just know that there seems to be a bug. If I use this mod along with Kerbal Foundries 2 (with its dependencies: kerbal wheels & textures unlimited), I cannot customize my CRFP fuel tank anymore.

No logs, no support.

That's because the issue resolved itself (or at least disappeared) when I uninstalled a few mods and reinstalled some of them. Procedure was faulty, should've tested one mod at a time, but I was in a rush to make this work. Sorry.

Neat! Small QoL suggestion: the colors aren't that accurate (e.g. it's impossible to get a pitch black texture on the sides to blend in with TPS - and yes, I'm making a lifting body ) 

[linuxgurugamer]

I've released a beta, and a new thread, please move all conversation there:

@Tonas1997Not sure what I can do about that, this mod is a bit harder to deal with, and for now, all I'm doing is getting it rebuilt for 1.12 and providing more textures

[ElonsMusk]

Wow.. Wow wow wow. This is just....  Incredible....

[ElonsMusk]

wrong thread sorry

When will we get more included Textures, like Turbofan inlets? (I want to create engine 2 of a Klockhead K-1011 with the cool looking  elliptical/tube shape, with CRFP)
