Sub-Divisive Symmetry

[LorenLuke]

Have options for sub-divisive symmetry in VAB (i.e. have 1,2,4,8 symmetry options when placing on an octosymmetric part configuration; 1,3,6 on a hexasymmetric, etc.).

If you mean that you want to be able to put n parts on each part in a symmetry group, count me in.

[Morrigi]

Yes please.

Considering how much I love to spam SRBs, yes, absolutely yes.

[Burninate]

quietsamurai98, that would be a different function entirely - one quite a bit simpler than the target of this thread. You describe something along the lines of 'press X to place symmetrical parts involving the immediate part selected as a new, nested radial center'.

The thread is about subdividing, say, 36-way symmetry of booster rockets, so that you could select '4 way subdivision' and place a part on every ninth rocket.

Both would be useful.

Oh, I see. So you could, say, make asparagus staging by placing a hexagonal array of tanks in 6 way symmetry, then switch to two way for the fuel lines?

If that's what you mean, I love this idea way more than my misinterpretation of it.

I forgot to capitalize I. Grammer is a _____

As Burinate competently explained, and you have now realised quitesamurai, this is ^exactly^ what I mean.
