I have a 94x46 matrix and I originally set it up as a horizontal matrix with the start location upper left and 2 strings. I don't know if the results I have are by design or not.
Because this matrix doesn't divide evenly beyond 4, I just configured it to be 2 ports and I was going to manually enter the Starting channels in the controller. But then Keith responded to another post so I converted the model to a Custom Model where I discovered a possible bug.
If you look at the node layout on the original matrix, the strings zig-zag back and forth as they should except for one location.
On the original Matrix, the last pixel on string 1 ends on the right side of the matrix (2162) and the next string should start (in my head anyway) right next to that pixel and zag back, but instead, it starts the first pixel on string 2 at the left hand side. Maybe the software is designed to always start matrix connections on the same side and it was my error in assigning a number of strings that threw things off???
What if the midpoint was in the middle of the matrix and not at an end? Just thinking out loud here.

That?s not a bug. When you set the start location all starts are on the same side.
In your case generate the mode using one string and then set the split point in the custom model.

Thanks Keith,
I had already changed to one string, I just wasn't sure if that was the behavior you were expecting.
