Changed the timing and I am now able to export. Thanks for your assistance.

I am attempting to export to an LOR S4 clipboard file from XLights and I get the message "Cannot export to LOR unless the sequence timing is evenly divisible by 10ms" ... not sure what this means or why it's happening today since I exported 2 days ago without error.  Upgraded to XLights version 2018.40 just to see if it would resolve my problem but it did not.

Not sure what my next step would be, assistance is appreciated.

We start our Halloween show 2 weeks before and run 1 week after Halloween.  We have regular visitors who come to see the show every year.

Awesome.  I’ll use that in the future.

Sorry for the delay I was just able to try this today.  I do have a clean check sequence.  Thank you for asking.

I wasn't sure where to render the entire sequence but I did find the Batch Render option on the Tool menu so I tried that for my sequence.  Then I exported the model without rendering (as you recommended). 

I imported the resulting *.lcb file into LOR and it was a perfect success.

Thank you so much for your wisdom and assistance.

@Gilrock, I apologize if it sounded off-putting.  My experience was with other lighting forums where I was bashed for asking what were thought to be stupid questions.  Sadly, the bashers didn't even provide answers.

@keithsw1111, I was under the impression that it was only possible to render/export the entire model which is what I want to do.  Here's what I'm doing:
1. Right mouse on the Model in my sequence
2. Choose  Model
3. Choose Render and Export
4. I'm keeping the default *.lcb format since I'm using LOR v4.2.18 Pro
5. Choose a folder for the file and click OK

Note: I just tried right clicking on the Model and exporting and then on the SubModel and exporting ... two two files were identical so I'm assuming it's the entire model.

Yes, other than start channels, the two models are defined identically.  The only difference in the situation is that one I used submodels and in the other I used layers.

I used the model with SubModels on a different sequence but didn't use the SubModels ... when I rendered and exported the model in that sequence it pasted perfectly into LOR.  That seems to support my concern that it is with the SubModels.

Thank you

I have a matrix that I've broken down into SubModels.  When I export the matrix and import into LOR (S4) it results in chaos.

I have two identical 16w x 50h matrices, here's what I did to prove that the issue is related to submodels. 
1.  I implemented my chasing pumpkins in Matrix #1 in submodels (4 Generated Horizontal submodels).
2.  I implemented my chasing pumpkins in Matrix #2 in layers.
Note: Ultimately, the result is identical in both matrices (in XLights preview).

When I export Matrix #1 and Matrix #2, I get two lcb files that are almost identical in size.  In content, however they don't look anything alike.

When I import the two files into their respective matrices in LOR ... Matrix #1 is chaos, Matrix #2 is perfect.

I can accomplish this simple test scenario with layers, but I have many other sequences in XLights that I hope to import into LOR that don't lend themselves to layers.  Is it possible that submodels won't be able to be used?  Or, am I missing something that will make it work?

Please be kind if you are smarter than I am and my request seems stupid to you.
