How to identify components already on the ship?

[Brok3n]

Is there a way to identify the components already used on a ship? for instance if I load someone else's design, how can i click on each part to see exactly what its called?

If the part can be right-clicked to show the menu, like a fuel tank, engine, or command pod, then you can see the name. Structural or other non-right-clickable objects such as ASAS or struts cannot be right-clicked and you cannot see the name; however, you can use the wiki's list of parts to see if you can identify the part.

rryy, I assume the post was about the VAB, not in-flight. What you suggest doesn't work in the VAB.

The VAB could really use a thing that identifies objects already installed.

This is a mod to inventory your craft part by part. I'm not sure if it highlights a part if you click on them or not. Check it out and have fun
