Suggestion: Don't Decide the Workspace Orientation by the Starting Part!

[TechieV]

Problem:

I want to use some rocket parts (Capsules, methalox fuel tanks, etc.) for planes and some plane parts (Cockpits, methane fuel tanks, etc.) for rockets, but whenever I place a rocket part in horizontal mode first, it is vertically oriented! And when I place a plane part in vertical mode first, it is horizontally oriented! This is different to KSP 1, where rocket parts were horizontal in the Spaceplane Hanger, and plane parts were vertical in the Vehicle Assembly Building.

My Idea:

My idea is to let the “Workspace Orientation” button rule everything! If you start in horizontal mode, every single part is horizontally oriented, be it plane parts or rocket parts, and vice versa.

Benefits:

This allows more flexibility in designing rockets and planes, as I can start with a plane part in vertical mode and vice versa. This is also useful for spaceplanes, as I can start with rocket parts and add wings later.

Exactly that. This is by far the better solution!
