Is there a way to add eyebolts and screws to an open rocket project?
What about adding in epoxy, or is that done by mass override
thanks

Add it as a mass object in the correct spot internally. Rename the mass object to what it is. If you've got them in the correct position, override the mass to what they weigh.
Epoxy, you'd need to take a guestimate at until you weigh the component assembly with glue.

interesting. I swear i have seen some OR files that have pictures of quicklinks and eyebolts in the bill of material type list.
Adding as a mass component is just fine since thats the most important part anyway haha

Yes, add a mess of mass objects, renamed sensibly.
For mass of epoxy: put the mixing cup on a team scale. Zero the scale. Add the 2 parts of epoxy, what does it measure?
Mix it and use it. Used it all? Use above weight. Didn't use it all? Weight again, subtract from above. Voila.

ok thanks. I always thought i could add pictures of the item in the list. But i must be thinking of something else. Im fine adding the masses

We're not worthy master...... Now show me how to make a mass object look like a bolt and pretend I'm stupid... I can see you're using a custom part in the parts library, but take me through the process.....

I didn't use any custom parts... I made them using internal body tubes with offsets, and mass objects. I grouped them into a single internal body tube by type so I could adjust them as needed.

holly hell thats some crazy editing work. Looks great though. lots of time to create those i assume?
is it just a bunch of body tubes moved around to look like a quick link?

But for *CRAZY* editing work you'll need to look at this sim...

I shouldn't have said Bloody Mary 3 times. I apologise. Begone........
We're talking about ways to save and load part assemblies so you could have something like a motor mount (at present, you need to save a rocket whose only components make up a motor mount, and then when you load it cut-and-paste the motor mount part into your rocket). Once we've got that adding part assemblies to the parts database wouldn't be hard.I hate you....
yeah i had to invite a witch, a cleric and 3 priests to my house...
