I have also realized that you need to think about which side of the star you are looking at when you insert the lights or you will get a mirror image from what you expect.  Ask me how I know, LOL.

double LOL - - exactly right - after I got all my nodes inserted and lit up that became a bit obvious - - woopsy...

I'd like to recommend the following change to the ChromaFlake #1 model:

    <model name="ChromaFlake1" DisplayAs="Custom" StringType="RGB Nodes" parm1="30" parm2="45" parm3="1" StartSide="B" Dir="L" Antialias="0" PixelSize="2" Transparency="0" ModelBrightness="0" CustomModel=",,,,,,,,,,,,,,28,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,27,,,,,,,29,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,30,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,26,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,12,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,35,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,36;20,,,,,,,,,,,,,,31,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,22,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,38,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,18,,,,,,,,,25,,,,,,,,,,34,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;19,,,,,,,23,,,,,24,,,,,32,,,,39,,,,,,,,37;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,17,,,,,,,,,,33,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,16,,,,,,,,,,40,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,9,,,,,,,,,,41,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;13,,,,,,,15,,,,,8,,,,,48,,,,47,,,,,,,,43;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,10,,,,,,,,,1,,,,,,,,,,42,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,14,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,46,,,;12,,,,,,,,,,,,,,7,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,44;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,11,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,45,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,2,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,6,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,5,,,,,,,3,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,;,,,,,,,,,,,,,,4,,,,,,,,,,,,,,," MyDisplay="1" offsetXpct="0.1497" offsetYpct="0.7793" PreviewScaleX="0.1810" PreviewScaleY="0.3470" PreviewRotation="0" versionNumber="1" StartChannel="1"/>

I found with the previous one posted that there was a long gap between #7 and #8 and would have required a bunch of small extensions with my 5" spacing (and I have two sets of these so that would have been a dozen extensions...). This change jumps the second one in the chain around so that no extensions are required and nothing is stretched to fit (at least in my case).

Thanks so much for making the ChromaFlake models - real timesaver!

I noticed a small error in the first flake though - at F31, there is a '1' but it should be '11' - - otherwise that was going to be a very odd wiring layout! 

edit - also noticed on Flake #4 - it goes 17 - 18 - 29 - 20 - - -  should be 19 of course.

Lastly #3 of the PDF is a bit hard to read - not sure if putting it 90 degrees in the doc would help?

Anyway - thanks again!

Just what I was looking for - thanks!

One suggestion I have is to create a group of effects to fit your particular model (or model type anyway) since some work better on different models. That way when you cut/paste the effect list, you only grab the ones you need for that model.
