I have copied all of my Xlights settings from one computer and paste them in to Xlights on a different computer. I can not get all of my models to show in the layout, preview window. I changed the view options, All models, default, that did not work. I clicked on or highlighted the model in the model/group window on the left and tried the up arrow hoping they would move up in view. That did not work. What is the trick get all of the models to show n the preview window in Xlights on a different computer?

Ok so in Layout you can see the model name on the left but even with the "All Models" option its not showing on the right?

If so only 2 things I can think of:
1)  The models are off screen and you need to type in smaller numbers for the background size.
2)  The new PC has OpenGL issues and you need to dial back the OpenGL setting or update the drivers.

If you see some models but not all then I'd suspect option 1.  Click on the background image and make the values smaller till the image fits on the screen.

You are correct that I can see some of the models and the other models are out of view. It was all in view on the 1st computer that I used to setup the models in the layout/preview window. I think you are say to click on the model and down size it, but the models that are out of view, I can not click on them.  I was hoping that I would be able to click on or highlight the model in the odel/group window and then press the up arrow or the right arrow to move the models I can not see back in view but that does not work. In the attached file there are 4 arches at the bottom of the window that showed up on the other computer and you can see 3 vertical RGB stirp and the other 3 vertical RGB stirp are to the right out of the window. I was hoping there was a setting that resized all models to fit. The other computer had a larger monitor when I set the models up, not sure if that ends up causing the models to go off screen when moving to a laptop with a smaller screen?

You get an F for not following instructions...I said "Click on the background image and make the values smaller...".

Change the value I circled in your screenshot.

I did click on the back ground but did not notice the options to the bottom left. Thanks for showing a clear picture on what to do and that worked. Thanks for your assistants.
Merry Christmas!
