How to layout models directly behind each other

[Paulanator]

I am doing well getting my layout and models set up in Xlights/Nutcracker, but I have a question about the layout.

I have 5 large arches in the driveway, and they are front to back. I want to be able to use Xlights to do some cool programming, but I am finding that putting them offset, changes the way the effects wash over them.

If I put them in front of one another, obviously it will not show the effects fully.

How have you gotten around this?

I know in the old animation screen in LOR you would create a mega tree with the front and top view. Of course that was not RGB!

Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you trying to sequence them as part of a model group?

You can always draw a second set of "Single Line" models that map to the exact same channels and lay them out like a top view.  Then put them in a group.  You can set the preview to "Unassigned" so they won't show on the default preview.

That is what I was looking for. The unassigned feature!

Thanks for the quick help!
