I'm not sure if anyone has posted this but here is the excel file for the snowflake with 222 pixels. I could not find one so here it is.

Actually Gil posted a full demo of this snowflake in a zip file and his layout is in it with some really cool effects.
Here is a link to questions I asked about his effects and submodels.

Thanks for the info I didn't see that post. My fault for trying to give people another option to use a excel file that I would prefer to use.

No one should be using Excel files anymore. If you want to share models export them using the xLights .xmodel file format. With Excel files there is no way to transfer the other important aspects of a model.

Also that file kentd is linking was not for the Boscoyo version of the snowflake since it did not exist at the time I created it. I seem to remember using a PDF file that Matt sent me which I believe aligns with his 48" snowflake made out of the better quality material not the cheap coro version. Maybe the layout is the same I haven't compared. I also made a good model for the 34" snowflake Matt sells that's also the high quality plastic but someone else posted one that was almost exactly like mine so I just let people download his.

That's good to know thanks again!

I think Gil's layout is certainly close enough for the Boscoyo version

I am trying to find the file for the 34" snowflake from Living Light Show. Having a hard time finding it for some reason. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

My question regarding this is how to set this up in Xlights. I don't think I can have 222 nodes on one output. I am using the Alpha Pix 4 and Alpha Pix 16. Should I do 100 on one output and 122 one the next? If so, how do I set that up in XLights?
-
@Avind The AlphaPix 4 can have 680 pixels per output, the 16 can have 340, obviously that's using power injection. HC recommends max of 120 pixels per output if powering direct from the controller.
I think to set that up in xlights you'd have to set max number of pixels to 120 (Channels per Universe = 360) then have the first output with 120 pixels and the second 112
-
To split a custom model across ports in xLights (and upload to a controller) set the number of strings and then the node numbers which are the first on each of those strings.

Thanks guys!
