Description

If you rotate the axis of the base part of your craft IE a core or nose so that it faces Right/Left instead of Up/Down in the VAB or reverse in the SPH the axis of symmetry is out by the rotation of the core craft part as in these images

This bug also affects the Navball, making it believe that up is 180-0

I can confirm this on Linux.

You can work around this by attaching the target part in the appropriate rotation in relation to the pod, then adding the radially attached parts, then bringing the part back to it's original rotation.

Yes that does fix the placement, but the reason I put this to high was cause of the updated info about it also effecting the orientation of the nav ball..

  • Severity changed from High to Normal

The orientation change is working as intended, the navball-orientation is always the orientation of the part you selected to "Control from here", or the root part of the ship (the probe body in this case).

Bumping the priority down to "Normal".

There's now a key for that, "F" to toggle symmetry around the parent part or the vessel.
