Rotating a part in the VAB flipping the model
Opened this issue · 2 comments
Visible on parts with asymmetric textures like the stock mk2 rocket fuel fuselage.
In this video, I've just pressed w 4 times, and after two presses, a 180 degree rotation, the black stripes are still showing on the same side as on the initial position, except the part is upside down.

I've also had it happen after rolling right with e once, then spinning the part with d. In this video I press e once, then d only

Attached parts are rotated correctly.
It's more of an issue with more asymmetric parts like this X-15 fuselage, where the tan lines near the rear should be on the bottom, but rotating it around they will occasionally swap to the top. It even stops happening after a while too (0:25+ in this video it stops happening).

And after it's been flipped, the transform-based nodes are also flipped - though the attached fin is still on "top" (relative to the cockpit)
I don't know why it doesn't affect less symmetrical parts, like the cockpits, even the mk2 in-line.
It seems having mirrorRefAxis = 0, 0, -1 in the part cfg is what causes it. Removing it fixes the part rotation bug, but then the part attaches in mirror symmetry without flipping the symmetry partner.
