Component method of part deletion

[mppd 16]

Anyone ever try deleting a BIG part for replacement by Fake pilot method, like a fuselage? - of course something not requiring a decal setup. Animations would remain as well as small detail parts - trick is to position the new part exactly. Still easier than doing all parts and animations from scratch parhaps.

I have never heard of anyone doing that with an entire fuselage. I guess it could be done.

Won't work because all the nodes (meshes)are linked to the fuselage. If you remove a 'Parent Component' All the 'Children Components' Go with it.

O.K. thanks - I was thinking about it at work and was about to give it a try. Was not sure if the component deal simply hid the part from being visible or actually "removed" it.
