Title: # of Strings in layered Star model appears to be broken?
Post by: allknowing2012 on October 12, 2020, 08:21:17 AM

Create a default 4 layer 10,20,30,40 node star, now make it 2 strings.
One would think that would be 2 strings of 50 nodes. But the auto calculating keeps the 100 Nodes/String and just makes a sort of mess - node layout doesnt show s2 values.
I think the auto calculate needs to divide by #strings.

We don?t auto calculate for > 1 string because so often the number of nodes won?t neatly divide into the number of strings. So rather than sending you on a wild goose chase changing setting only to have other things change in weird ways we do nothing and let you get it right.
