Making Attachment Nodes Invisible

[Tommygun]

Just a quick question.

Are there any key board commands to make the green attachment nodes temporally invisible in the VAB?

From time to time I've come across a problem of how to assemble small objects in the VAB that are smaller than the green attachment nodes.

Its bugged me for some time. If there isn't a way it would make for a good feature in the VAB.

I don't think there's any way to turn off the node display in the stock game.

However, since only open nodes are displayed, a workaround may be to slap a small, single-node part on the node (RCS thruster block, Communitron 16, etc.) and then remove it when you've done the fine work. Obviously this won't work if it's the part your trying to attach whose node is stuffing you about.

Alternatively, the Editor Extensions mod may have a setting to allow this, but I haven't used it so I can't be sure.

Yes, that single-node part idea would work on some things like surface attach parts.

I'll give that a try. Maybe I'll suggest this function in that Editor Extensions thread.

Thanks.

So do those mass center balls, the size of them should be fixed related to your screen, not parts (physical size in game)

That I disagree with. The proportional overlap or offset indicates how far misaligned things are absolutely.

RCS buid aid gives you the option to resize them. However, it does not do the same for attach nodes.

Maybe the dude in charge of it could help us with that.

Someone want to ask him if he'd include the option in the next release or something?
