Trying to configure the KW Expanded Fairing Bases for Procedural Fairings, ran into an issue. It seems Procedural Fairings uses the top node and the side nodes to initially determine the fairing shape (and presumably, the enclosed area). When I move the top node below the side attach nodes, the fairing starts at the side attach nodes, drops down to below the top node, then rises again as per normal:
It'd be nice for these sorts of fairing bases to be able to move the side attach nodes horizontally (EG: side nodes at radius = 1.0 with part diameter of 1.25), and potentially more importantly, to be able to move them above the top node.
Thanks!

As an aside, the offset shown above was achieved by moving the model and top/bottom nodes down, leaving the side nodes alone. This achieves some pretty good-looking results:
A little more tinkering, and I'm starting to understand the issue a bit better. It looks like no matter where the nodes are, the fairing starts at the node radius at height zero. The encapsulated parts are all those which are "downstream" of the reference node (top).
I attempted a workaround by placing a dummy node at the zero point for the fairings to base themselves from, like so:
Unfortunately, the second node (placed at the structural point) is not counted as inside the fairings, so parts attached there will not resize the fairings:
I suspect a workaround might lie in checking the "top" node's height relative to the part's zero height, and starting the fairing component scan there, but leaving off fairing model rings until you get to height zero.
