Title: reverse a custom model?
Post by: JasonPortwood on August 14, 2016, 08:09:42 AM

I would like to see a feature to mirror a custom model in the custom editor.  This would help those of us who sometimes forget it's mirror image while filling in a piece of coro.  Then get to the end and realize the mistake.  My fingers hurt enough.   ::)

It's pretty easy to do.  Read each line in of the model and print the line backwards.

Call it paste mirror image.  That should correct the model to work as expected in xlights then.

I wrote a perl script to do it for my mornings mix up....

Thank you,

Jason

That wouldn't work on all models.

I think there are features in the works that will do what you want.

This will be possible in v46 for custom models only.

You should see the private messages I got on FB about users wanting to see a model from the rear...lol.

That's what Incognito browser sessions are for.
