Feedback #3422
Unsure if a bug or not, assembled parts rendered fully invisible by floating parts in VAB
Description
Here's an example video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DDV-R8SqdQ
Any craft obscured in whole or in part by a non-attached part will render everything underneath invisible, while still displaying the VAB wall on the other side. It's kind of disconcerting. I'm not sure if it's a bug or an intended visual effect but it makes placing parts in the correct place a bit difficult. This is especially true when, for example, trying to place SRB's on radial decouplers, as the decouplers are invisible underneath the see-through ghost of the SRB's, meaning you often have to place parts several times to get the correct alignment.

Hello,
This bug is still present in version 1.0.5. I added some screenshots of it in the SPH.

This is still an issue 5 years later and I think the priority should be bumped up.
If you look at the screenshot I supplied from 1.9.1 the VAB can be seen through the transparent part which is about to place, but the already placed part behind it is completely invisible where it is occluded by the transparent part.
This is wrong and the placed parts should be visible through the transparent parts ready to place so the player knows where to place the transparent parts.
