Question(s) about Structural Panels

[Turk_WLF]

I know I have the Default Structural Panels (M 1x1, M 2x2) but I’m not sure how they can be attached to each other end to end. I was wondering is there a way/trick to attaching them together like Bob Fitch did in his Youtube Video Using Robotics - Deconstructed Satellite #1 - Kerbal Space Program 0.22@ ( http://youtu.be/oEqKkuMnglM ). It’s very possible that I could have missed something pretty simple, or do I need another mod to get the same effect that I’m after.

Thanks,

I can attach them easily, just grab second panel and aim mouse on the center of the others side and it should do. Zoom in for more precision. At least did for me: http://imgur.com/a/432WX (ignore mod stuff around, launched wrong install)

What happens if you grab a panel and aim it at the second panel side?

EDIT: Working fine with and without angle snap for me (screenshots with angle snap on)

Make sure angle snap is off. instead of seeing a hexagon in the bottom left of the screen there should be a circle, if not press c. rotate the part with wasd to get the correct orientation and your problem should be solved

Depending on how OCD you want to be about it, to get them perfectly aligned you need to actually hit the exact center of the parent panel. When you do, the panel you are attaching will turn vertical. Then you rotate it so that they align.You can also be a lot less precise and still have panels attached on edge. Just depends on what you're doing and how perfect you want it.
