Extending elements on VAB

[Noobton]

I'd like to check if my antenna will clip anything or will look weird after deployment, is there any way to check this on the VAB?

Nope, . You have to go out to the launch pad to check that out.

You can 'tweak' several features of different parts by right-clicking them. If this is not an option that appears when you right-click then, no, you'll just have to do ground-tests like the rest of us. They're always handy to see if Kerbals can get out and walk around then get back in, etc. - I habitually forget ladders ^^

Not for antennae or solar panels I think. You can switch landing gear and ladders in the VAB though. (Watch out with ladders, if you launch with them extended then revert, you can't retract them again in the VAB and will have to place a new one).

You can get Tweak able Everything which adds this functionality.

Yeah, You can't "tweak" antennae's in the VAB (in stock)

hmm I guess I'll have to use some weird platforms but I'll try deploying to the launchpad first and if that doesn't help I'll try mods, thanks everyone.
