Nutcracker Models / Re: How di I model a string wrapped around a column?

It looks like if I add a tree a with one string and how many times I need it wrapped using the spiral wrapping it gives me the model I want.

I have 5 columns on my porch and would like to wrap a string around each.  What would be the best way to do this?

Thanks

Using 8mm bullets. 50 per string, 16 for main trunk running off a F16v2 for the main tree.  Was thinking of using 12 strings, 25 pixels for the first part of the branch and the same configuration for the horizontal part of the branch

Hi all-

Here is my problem and I'm not sure how to address it.  I have a tree in my yard that has only one branch.  It leaves the tree at a 90 degree angle, goes about 4 feet then takes another 90 degree angle to run parallel with the tree.
I have used the mega tree model and turned it into a cylinder for the the trunk and main part of the tree but am unsure of how to add the additional pieces.

Tree looks like this

Something happened to my dropbox account and now everything is gone.  Is there anyway to recover things off the flash drive of one of my Pi's?

Thanks

My wife has asked me to do a show that would have a mirror effect across the yard.  An example would be two mega trees, one at each end of the yard. One tree would spin left while the other would spin right.  Is there a way to do this easily?

Thanks

I have set my show up on 192.168.2.0 subnet, so it's just the show controllers an Pi's.  The home network is 192.168.1.0.  I have my router for the show connected to the home network by the wan port.  I can see the 1.0 network and Internet from the 2.0 side,  I cannot see the 2.0 from the 1.0 side.   I have a route set up on the 1.0 router that sends traffic to 192.168.2.0. Through the the wan ip of 192.168.1.130.  I think I am missing something on the 2.0 router.  Can you help me out?  Every time I try to put a route in it tell me I have an incorrect gateway.
It has to be something simple,  but alas not simple enough

Thanks
Andy

Is my method correct.  Select import from the import tab,  then select the sequence?  Do I need to have lsp on my computer?

Should have been clearer.  I would like to put the controller  and Pi in a remote location and run it in remote mode I don't want to connect the 681 to the network with a cable
