Place docking port inside a cargo bay

[tomf]

How can I place a docking port inside a cargo bay in the SPH?

If I try to get it to hover over the node inside teh bay it just flickers around at the wrong angle mostly back to front and won't snap to the node.

Also I thought I read somewhere in the mega release thread that thre was a way to hide things cliping through the cargo bay?

if you hold the ALT key while grabbing the part it temporarily disables surface attachment for the grabbed part.

Hmm. Just to clarify a little. You only need to hold the ALT (or Mod) key when you're placing the part. You don't have to hold it while grabbing, which can cause the editor to copy if you're grabbing a part "in-scene."

You'll also need to make sure you're viewing the connection node a bit from the side. Otherwise you might still have problems connecting because of how the editor works.

Also, hold Alt + Shift to get fine rotation and node snapping at the same time.
