Not sure if this is a bug or user error. I am trying to make a a model for a tree that I use in my display. The tree uses a total of 8 AC strings - 2 set of 4 colors. Each string goes up from the bottom to the top of the tree and then down the opposite side to make a 360° tree. I have this laid out in the attached PDF on page 1.
The first thing that I noticed if that if I use the "default" render style, the trees light up as expected (page 2). If I changed to the "Single Line" render style, only 1/2 of the tree lights up (pages 3 and 5). I am not exactly sure what the different render styles are, so this might just be my lack of understanding rather than a bug, but I figured I would report it just in case.
I also noticed that I can't turn on lights at the strand level (page 4). Nothing turns on no matter which render style I choose. I've tried saving, rendering, closing and reopening, and nothing seems to allow me to turn on just 1 strand. Again, not sure if this is a bug or me missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Oops... here it is.

I know nothing about ac lights, but why are you overlapping channels on the 4 models?

That is carryover from when I used to use all AC lights and Vixen 2. To keep track of the lights I would put them in order on outputs 1, 2, 3, 4 and then repeat (I have 4 of these trees).
I didn't think about the overlap of the channels. I do have them as individual start channels, so I didn't think that would matter, but perhaps it does. I'll have to switch that around and see what happens.
