How do we connect parts?

[salad]

I want to add a detonator to a plane to create destruction in mid air but I'm having trouble because I don't know how to connect parts. Can someone please help me? Thanks.

You can just drag the parts close to each other and they should snap together.

When I put the parts closely together, they still don't connect. Especially the detonator.

Probably youre putting together same gender parts or parts from other series if I can call it that way.

how do u change the gender...

With a scalpel and a steady hand.

The mating surfaces of parts can be rotated in the same plane/parallel and remain connected, mating surfaces cannot be tilted/rotated so they are not on the same plane/parallel or they will not connect. Conventional bricks have gigantic connectors and therefore limit you, find and make using the scalables a priority, scalable mating surface connectors do not have gender so you immediately remove that as an issue. When connecting any part there will be a green highlighting of properly connecting parts, practice rotating and moving and connecting with the most basic of parts first, after your light bulb above your head comes on continue on with very small projects.

snapping could be turned off. Press space while you have the piece selected/in move mode
