Reverse Individual Arches

This isn't necessarily a new effect, but i didn't really see any other places to log feature requests. Maybe that is something for Github. I had an issue last year though where, I had an arch model that had 7 ws2811 strips in a single arch. I call it the mega arch, it is about 50' tall. One of the individual strips i need to be able to flip. In the arch model it would be nice to be able to hit a checkbox and flip the start of the strip.

I'm not a 100% following, but wouldn't the easiest solution be to create another model to the same channels that are reversed? Then, depending on which direction you want, use that specific model. That's just an idea.

What controller are you using?  If It's a SanDevice E68x, you can "flip" the start location by configuring the controller for that strip of RGB lights.

Im pretty sure that was how we resolved the issue last year, was by swapping it in the e682, which works, but seems like it would be a pretty simple thing to add into xLights, maybe not and if not then its not big deal. Just a thought.

This is kinda out of the ordinary so I don't think there would be a good reason to build in support to be able to flip just one strip in a group.  If you really have that you can always create custom models plus you've already handled this in your controller so why have us spend time on this when there are so many others things we could be fixing.

Agree!
