Did I use the gizmo's incorrectly?

[Darren9]

First thing I did in a new .9, I went to the SPH, had a look at the new spaceplane bits, grabbed a truss to try the attach gizmo's placed the on the cockpit, used the rotate thing, then the offset thing, then launched. I have the girder free floating but attached as part of the ship. I wasn't expecting to be able to do that.

Yep, you can do that now, be creative

Press space to reset any unwanted offset or rotation.

In my un-creative mind they can only be physically connected if they actually physically connect. That particular offset adjuster seems to only add disbelief for me, couldn't they at least check that the models or colliders or something overlaps to allow a connection. I'm a bit disappointed to be allowed out of the VAB/SPH with something that appears impossible by any known physics.

It's a fine line between allowing freedom to create and making gameplay look realistic, and feedback is certainly welcome. There are uses for it, and many ways to abuse...

So, don't use that feature if you don't like it? Just a suggestion.

Yeah, don't do it if you don't have to and don't want to. Fairly self-explanatory.
