Two ways to fix this I suppose...maybe one is program the controller to be backwards vs forwards. The other option is to use a custom model and label your channels that way. I had to do this yesterday with a window frame myself.

I think I will just bite the bullet and swap the strings. just have to take the strings off the pvc and swap them. pita but it should only take a half hour or so.

um, why not just make your windows a signle string or make then as a vert matrix?
You are only talking about getting the preview to show correctly.


If you want them to show correct , why not make a custom model for the window?
bars, butterfly, twinkle will all work correctly. Only the chase will look different.
