Octagonal Struts

[Billyk88]

How can u use these struts to attach multiple engines to one fuel tank?

Thank You

I'm no Octagonal strut expert, but I believe you can simply put the struts directly underneath the tank, if it doesn't work in the Angle snap mode, just hit that button again and it'll turn into a circle and it should work.

I are teh mastr explaner

Cubic Octagonal Struts rather than octagonal.

Simply attach them to the bottom of the tank with the desired symmetry, then attach the engines to them, you can rotate them 180 degrees before attaching the engines to hide them inside the tank.

See my tutorial.

Personally with engines other than the tiny ones I find Radial Attachment Points or even Structural Plates are better than octagonal struts for aesthetic reasons (and structural plates are nearly indestructible).

The plane tail fins (the ones by WinterOwl Aircraft Emporium) also work really well, take a look at some of the rockets at my page. Cubic Octagonal Struts when the engines are moved in closer towards the fuel tanks.

Temstar also has a nice series of rockets with engines attached like this.

Blizzy78's tutorial linked above is also a very nice tutorial.

Ok ill check out ur guys stuff. How do i rotate the struts 180 degrees? Thank you

Use W, A, S, D, Q and E for rotation by 90 degrees. Hold down shift while you do this to rotate it only 5 degrees.

[Geschosskopf]

Hitting A and D rotate the thing 90^ in yaw. W and S rotate 90^ in pitch. Q and E rotate 90^ in roll. You can hit each one multiple times so 2 taps is 180^. Holding down SHIFT while hitting one of these keys gives 5^ rotation so 9x shifted taps = 45^ rotation.
