First let me start off by saying hello, and thanks for a great program. I can't believe I paid to go pro on LOR...lol
Anyway this is my first year getting into pixels, I have a pixcon 16 board, and here is my question in probably 2-3 parts (sorry) I have super thick garland that I hang from my fence on each side of house, so I redid them each 9' section with 50 pixels each, but when looking at house from street my controller will be somewhat centered, and the fence garland on left I will have my single input going to the last/end of garland pixel node 150.., I know on LOR setup I was able to put something like the furthest pixel is 1 ( I hope you get what i'm saying?) so is there a feature in xlights where I can do same? or do I have to? last in order to do the garland on fence poles I did 3 arches in row and flipped upside down. Is there a better way? Thanks

Ste the "Starting Location" model property to right.

Honestly, I'd do this in the controller. You didn't mention what kind of pixel controller you are using, but MOST of them have a setting for the string to "reverse" the data going out so the first pixel is the furthest one out.

Controller is a Pixcon16 from LOR it was kinda hidden in my post. I think that is where I checked it, on board setup(been a few months) was not sure if that was just for LOR or what ever program used.. That's a relief that its in the board, I already have all cables done and ready power injection and all, thinking I might have to make new cable with null pixel. I got good at removing jacket from sjow cord and only cutting data wire I solder the +/- directly to board then the cut data, followed by two layers of dual wall heat shrink, so far I only had need to do that in two places... I do have a couple pre made ones from Ray wu in case things work a little differently when all connected outside, so far all works good when laid out on bench test..
