VAB problem

Hello,

As seen in the picture, I can't get those two parts to attatch... What to do?

the parts wont attach because there is no attachment node there, if you are using a subassembly ( as i suspect you are) you need to build it such that the root part of the subassembly has an attachment node in the proper location.

Do you mean the root part of my subassembly should be a clamp-o-tron?

Take a clamp o torn as a single piece, attach it, then attach the fuel tank to it,

Oh, and I don't think fuel goes through command pods iirc, so you might want to switch the fuel tank and command pod

Like this? It wouldn't work

Exactly. Build your subassembly separate from the rest of your rocket. I use a modular girder segment as my root ship part, then build the subassembly from there with the proper orientation (Starting with the part I want to attach) then just pull off the part to attach and drop it in the subassembly tab. Voila! a perfectly formatted subassembly.

I understand what you mean. However, i've never been able to attatch the side of a fuel tank to a clamp-o-tron...

Roxette, I was able to make it work with this mod. I'll still try without any mod to see if it is possible.

Thank you all
