Nodegrabber – BeamNG.drive

This feature allows to manipulate vehicle nodes using the cursor. This makes it possible to:

• Grab & Drag node
• Pin node mid-air
• Attach node to another node

How to

Grab a node

1. Hold CTRL (the default key) to enable the feature.
2. Move your cursor over a vehicle. All the vehicle’s nodes will be highlighted via a sphere.
3. Click and hold the Left Mouse Button (the default button) to grab a node.

Adjust grab strength

While grabbing a node, use Mouse Wheel Up/Down to adjust the strength of the grab. The strength is displayed on the on-screen label.

Pin a node

While grabbing a node, press the Middle Mouse Button to pin a node.

Attach a node to another node

While grabbing a node, hover over another node and press the Middle Mouse Button when the label indicates so via a change of color (see visual example below). To detach two nodes that were previously attached, simply middle-click on one of the attached nodes.

Check the on-screen label to know which action your middle-click will perform.
