How To - Swap Pods / Probe Cores?

[Commander Zoom]

With .20 , it's now possible to delete the command pod or probe core from an existing craft. Other parts then become inaccessible ("greyed out") until a new pod or core is selected and added to the scene in the VAB or SPH. Great, but... how do I actually set the new part as active? I can't seem to attach anything to it. I just wind up with a bunch of floating parts.

After deleting your root part and selecting a new one, it is placed at the default location (the camera should focus on it) and you can re-attach "frozen" parts that you detached previously.

There isn't any need to set the new part as active, it is done automatically.

Ah, I see it now. (It was appearing inside of the booster that I'd moved down, out of the way; I was then dragging another from the parts box into the scene.)

Thanks.
