How should I layout my house?
« on: June 02, 2015, 03:01:23 PM »
Hi all,

I'm looking for any insights into how to layout my house better in xLights.  I started 3 years ago with mostly static lights and an LED string megatree in my oval drive.  2 years ago I added 24 HDPE arches around the inside of the oval drive around the megatree and added a smaller megatree on the lawn.  Last year I added the outline of nearly all my house eaves and roofline.  Last year I used XL3 to generate effects for just the roofline and then added them into my existing LOR sequences.

This year I am hoping to move entirely to XL4.  The problem I see with the layout is mostly with the roofline.  I have those lights on 3 sides of my house (north, east & south), and I'm not sure what is the best way to represent this in the layout.  I am also hoping to add a few things this year that are further away from the house.  Lastly, I am adding a pixel megatree.

I have several pictures that might help explain all this.  Instead of loading them here, I put them on a page of my family website with some more details.  Use the link below to see them.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I'd really like to get this setup right the first time!
