Question - ! necessarily a bug - Model one-way orientation
« on: August 02, 2018, 09:38:24 PM »
For this specific case I'm using a Boscoyo ChromaCane99. The Boscoyo CC has the loop to the left. I can't seem to rotate the model to get it to point to the right. On the built-in CC model, there is a "reversed" option, but not on the downloaded models.

So the question is, is there a way to flip a downloaded model over like a grilled-cheese sandwich or hamburger or a grilled food of your choosing or would I need to create a new custom model?

Not asking for an enhancement, just wondering if I'm missing a setting.

Jeff

There is no difference between a downloaded model and a custom model.  They are the same inside xLights.  So download the model, click the button to edit the data like normal, use the Flip Horz or Flip Vert buttons as desired.

Ah! OK. Downloaded models are "custom" so I need to edit "Model Data" to flip them. The built-in models have a "Reverse" option. Cool.

Thanks Gil!

Where are the Flip Horz or Flip Vert buttons? All I see in the 'edit model data' section are: Width, Height, Wiring View, Copy/paste/zoom buttons, background image, auto numbering, and the matrix with the pixel numbers in it.

Right click on the grid for more options like flipping.
