Help with Creating Parts

So, the designer has an option to save a selected group of parts as a single part. It was my understanding that this was the best way to change a ship's hull size. However, whenever I try to do this, the newly created part does not include many of the pieces that I tried to group. Has anyone else had this problem? Do you know  what to do about it.

You might want to watch my tutorials, I cover grouped parts pretty well.

Your issue is most likely that you are using the mirror command, mirror parts don't copy to a group part. Or, you are not using a single part as your origin and using the starting cube for more than one piece.

Hi guys, i also have a problem with created parts.

 

I've designed a tiny fighter to add on a carrier ship, and saved the disegn as a template. When i try to save as an object the game crash to the desktop. I've used only one origin point and no mirrored parts. I tried about 5 o 6 times but the game crash any time i click the "save" botton.

Is there any way to convert faction logos to a part that can be attached to ships.

I doubt this can be done but I thought I would ask. I am fairly certain GCII had logo parts.
