Remove space plane hangar and/or camera restrictions when building? Length of hangar?

[Jason_25]

I would like to try building a several hundred meter long ship but the spaceplane hangar is not big enough. Also, just what are the dimensions of the hangar anyway?

Someone more knowledgable will weigh in later, I'm sure. However as a starting point, the VAB allows construction of a craft which extends from top (ceiling) to floor. On the launch pad, we can think of this as the altitude of the top of the craft, which is about 148 meters. Since the launch pad elevation is about 70 meters, the difference of 78 meters would be the height of the inside of the VAB. Perhaps the SPH length has a similar dimension.

There are tricks to allow a craft to extend further (into the VAB floor), and you might be wanting some similar trick for the SPH.

Camera restrictions seem limited to within the assembly buildings.

Good luck on your project!

Assuming the XL Girder is ~3meters (There's no length given) then the SPH very roughly 100m long, as I've built a structure ~30 such girders long. Plus or minus.

Is it still possible to draw ships so they extend beyond the buildings?

I think there is a way around it, IF you are the programmy type. I, personally, have no idea if this works, but you could go into the config file and make your own ships. They could be any size imaginable.
