I created a Whole Show model group and started sequencing no problem. I decided to add 3 new models to the group. I selected Model Groups in Layout and edited my Whole Show group. I included the 3 new models and hit OK. I then selected save.
When I go back to the Sequencer tab and expand out my Whole Show group the new models are not there.
I have tried restarting Xlights with no change.
Am I missing a step? If I remove the Whole Show group from Display Elements and re add it will I loose all my sequencing?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I didn't see you mention that you added them to the view on the seq tab. Right click timing track and select edit display elements.

My Whole Show group is already added in Display Elements. When I add something to a group in Layout I would think it should show up under that group in the sequencer. I have attached images to better show what I am talking about. Is there an xml file I can edit to fix this?

There should be 3 more models under "Top RL".
They are named Roof Vertical 1, Roof Vertical 2, and Roof Vertical 3.
If you notice Roof Vertical 1 can be seen under Mega Tree. That is because I had to add them separately because they won't show up under the Whole Show Group.

You are correct you shouldn't need to add them with Display Elements to get them to show up when you add them to a model group. But I just tested and things worked for me. When I add a new model it automatically is showing up on the grid rows. A couple things don't add up with your photo. You claim that you added Roof Vertical 1 and that the models above Mega Tree are in a Whole Show Group. Well that doesn't look true because of the name alignments. If the names above Mega Tree were part of an expanded model group then they would have a 1 character indentation and they do not. They are at the same indentation level as Mega Tree and Roof Vertical 1.

I feel so dumb. They are totally there. I swear when I was throwing effects on that Whole Show Display Element I wasn't seeing the effect on the new models. I also got confused because my Mega Tree in the group was right above my Mega Tree that was not in the group. Thank you so much for making me take a harder look. I have been staring at Xlights for hours trying to figure everything out and it all started to blur. :)
Again thank you so much for the support and creating such a killer application.
