Nutcracker Models / Re: LED Icicles around corners

So I finally used a polyline for the icicles and it worked great. Thank you. The one thing I didn't know about polyline is you can add drops and make it look like icicles. Now I have one model per color of icicle, Thanks again.

LOR / LED singing faces won't work at 50% dim

« on: November 21, 2018, 09:37:46 PM »

I have four LED singing faces that worked fine when I was running them at 50% in LOR but now that I am running in X-Lights,  the mouth segments won't shut off unless I run them at 100%(I haven't tried anything in between. I don't understand it. How can software make a difference? I do have resisters on all of the channels that the segments are connected to, I don't recall the value at this time and they are shrink wrapped to prevent any shorting in the box. But like I said they ran fine last year when I was running LOR. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you want to remove all effects on a model go to display elements and remove the model from your master view and then add it back. All effects gone

Thanks, That would work but I was only wanting to remove the effects from certain portions of the song. Your first suggestion worked once I figured out how to scroll vertically.
Thanks again.

Right click. Show all effects.

Unselect timing track then click and crave to select the effects and press delete key to delete them.

Thanks keithsw1111 that really helps a lot. But I can still only do a page at a time. Is there a way to make the mouse click and drag also scroll the page like most other programs do?

OK I kind of answered my own question. I figured out that clicking and dragging to the right only gets me one page at a time horizontally but if I click and drag to highlight what I need horizontally and keep holding down the mouse button I can use the mouse scroll wheel to scroll the page vertically and speed things up.

Before you go thru all of that, have you tried to render all?  That might make it shimmer properly.

Yes I did render first, unfortunately that did not help, but thanks for the suggestion.

General Software / How do I delete effects that are on the nodes of a strand???

I created a model Mega Tree 270 deg, 16 strings, 2 strands per string. So they show up in the sequencer as 32 strands as I wanted. I had to map every single node to be able to import LOR sequences properly. but now I noticed that the only effect that isn't importing properly is the shimmer effect, it comes across as all white and does not shimmer. At first I thought no big deal I will just delete those portions and re-add the shimmer effect from X-Lights. Problems is that when it was imported, all of the effects were put on the nodes of each strand which hides them until you open the strand.

So my question is, is there a way to delete the effects that are on the nodes of a strand without opening every strand?  I know that doesn't sound like a lot of work but it is affecting all of my RGB props not just my mega tree.

Nutcracker Models / LED Icicles around corners

« on: July 31, 2018, 06:53:13 PM »

I am using LED icicles not pixels, so I use the Icicle model and tell it the string properties are single color. When my roof line changes angle or goes around a corner I have to start a new model. I use LOR AC controllers to control my LED icicles and I have four different strings so four channels of LOR. So here is the problem; lets say I am building the red icicle models around the roof line I end up with six models because of angle changes, but I assign them all to the same channel on the LOR controller. Problem with that is when I run "Check Sequence" I get warnings of model overlap for all of the icicles. Is there any way to merge the models or tell Xlights that there is a parent model for the channels to prevent these warning?
