With the new Marquee effect you don't need to mess around using a Pinwheel or SingleStrand with a proxy model.  It's just a waste of time.  I made a quick video where I create a Window Frame to the exact dimension as yours Beatlerat and then when I drop a Marquee on it the effect works great.  So what exactly is the issue cause it should be this simple now?

Marquee works great for my "Roof Perimeter" with is really a group model of four straight lines. Top, Right, Bottom and Left.  Much better chase look than I could ever get with Pinwheel or Fan.

Though I did have to change the Layout Mode to "Minimal Grid" to make it work the best.

Thanks for reminding me.  Just changed "minimal grid" to be the default for that combo box since most people leave it on the default it will reduce the confusion.
