Is there a mod that will let you SET a new ROOT PART?

[Ens Gijs]

I find building vehicles starting from a docking port to be a real hassle - especially when i want that port to attach to the side of a fuel tank for example. So instead i would like to build a craft as usual in the SPH - set a new root part (say my centered docking port for example) and then i can make it into a sub-assemble for VAB use.

does this mod exist?

SelectRoot Does what it says on the Tin, exactly what you are looking for.

That's the one. It's very simple: install it, press Ctrl-Shift-Click on the part and it's the new root. You can even force parts that are not allowed as root parts.

Or if you can wait a few days, you can just use the new Editor Gizmo in 0.90.
