Question Adding a Docking Point to another's mesh

[Pfr_Fate]

Hey! I would like to try something tricky with a pre-existing mesh: to make the landing pads (the red +) of the most excellant Moonbase Alpha model into a large docking port.

Is there a modder's program that can assign such docking ports to a pre-existing model?

Thanks!

I think you can do that with Artlav's Orbiter Shipyard. But you will have a problem having a ship docked while landed. Orbiter doesn't like that (IIRC).
I had the Shuttle-A with a rescue module docked and tried to land with it. Initial touchdown resulted is so much bouncing that I wound up bouncing back to orbit nearly.

Hm...the wonderful mod has it that there is a crane that picks up and can drop off the Eagle....it doesn't bounce...so maybe the red pad '+' could be considered a crane-like object? Hm...that probably uses UMMU cargo techniques and not docking, though.
