Rockomax HubMax Multi-Point Connector - Can't attach to sides

[Lycake]

Hey guys,

I already made some rockets but I never used the 6 way "Rockomax HubMax Multi-Point Connector" part. I wanted to build a space station and I tried to attach it on one side to my station core and on the other 5 sides docking ports, but I can't seem to get anything attach to the sides of it, just the top and bottom.

Is there a setting or something that I need to do so I'll be able to attach parts to the sides? I can put parts at the sides of fuel tanks and so on, but there are no snapping points. With the HubMax it just won't snap

Thanks,

Cake

yeah that thing likes to misbehave, try rotating it (wasdqe) and attach it in a direction different from the "fresh out of the box" one.

it should become green.

Limitation is the current node system unfortunately, it will be rewritten sooner or later but as you can imagine it doesn't seem a particularly high priority.

Only two orientations of node (& surface) work when attaching a part to another part, for the HubMax it's the top and bottom ones so you need to rotate it so that either the top or bottom node is the one you're attaching with (you can have that node pointing sideways, but it has to be one of the one that start in that position).
