Scaling different parts of stock parts to different sizes?

[Galane]

Is it possible to scale different parts of the stock parts to different sizes? I need to make a ReStock ThunderMax to Kerbodyne adapter but with any of the stock tapered adapters the big end ends up too large by the time the small end is up to Kerbodyne diameter. (That's including the Kerbodyne to Rockomax adapter.)

I see what dictated the diameter of the ThunderMax parts, scaling up the adapter to Rockomax so PolecatEZ just went with the diameter the big end became.

I could make a 1 part subassembly conic tank as just a structural part (using Stretchy SRB or Procedural Parts) and include it with ReStock Reloaded but of course that would require having one of those mods installed.

I'd like the pack to be usable in an otherwise completely stock KSP, just like the original ReStock cfg pack - and I'd rather not scale up the ThunderMax parts to ThunderMaximer (or ThunderMaximore) just because of the way the stock adapters scale up.

model

{

model = folder/path/model

scale = x, y, z

}

Not sure but...

Try it.

tl;dr: no.

blackheart: that will give you at best an adapter of a different length, or an adapter with an oval top and bottom.

Galane: Unless the stock part is made up of different MODEL nodes referencing different model files, then no. (Now, if the model itself is made from different submodels, you could use a plugin to scale those different submodels, but that can't be done purely by cfg, and I doubt the adapters actually have different submodels).

To change the scale at the top of the model without changing the scale at the bottom (for example) you'd have to be scaling the positions of some vertices and not others (or rather, scaling some one amount, and others a different amount), which as you can imagine is something you'd have to do with a plugin.

Could mash together two adapters, scaled differently, remove redundant nodes... Several of the ReStock parts are made that way. Would end up with a 'concave' double angle having the big end shortened in height to make it intersect with the part for the smaller end without poking out the top.

Can't use any of the adapters that can be looked through because the results would be pretty ugly. Time for tinkering with all those position numbers...

You can use ubiozur's welding tool to make a copy of the part with another name and scale, even replacing modules.

I figured out how to put two different parts together to make a decent looking ThunderMax to Kerbodyne adapter.
