Subassemblies to build rings, spheres, cyllinders, etc


Recommended Posts

Using power of Parts Angle Display and SelectRoot plugins I was able to create set of subassemblies, that represents sections of circle. Joined together they make almost perfect ring. Using them you can build crafts in shape of ring, sphere, cylinder, donut, etc.

Download zip contains folder "Ships" with example .craft filde, and "Subassemblies" with subassemblies .craft files. Unzip to your KSP save directory.

Subassemblies come in three types:

Type 1:
