Model Chain for Falcon F48

[munu]

I am not quite understanding the model chain parameter. I have a Falcon F48. On port 1 of the first differential controller (so port 1 out of 48) I want to have 4 arches. So in xLights I defined my F48 controller with Auto Layout Models enabled. See attachment F48Controller.png. Then in "Layout" I have 4 arches. Each has "Controller" set to my F48. Port is set to 1 for all of the 4 arches. Then for arch 1 I set Model Chain to Beginning. For arch 2 I set it to >Arch #1 (so following arch #1, that is how I understand it). Arch 3 is set to >Arch #2. But then for arch 4 I don't see the option >Arch #3 but only beginning. Why can I not select arch 3 and is this really the way to do it anyways? My idea is that I have a couple differential controller for the front yard, a couple differential controller for the house outline (one for the 1st level, one for the second level) for a total of just 4 differential controllers. If you need more screenshots let me know what will help to clarify the issue.

You would be mixing the old way with the new way .. forget changing stuff there on the properties .. go to the controller tab and drag n drop them in the order you  want them placed and chained.

Wow, cool!!! I have no idea yet if this is doing what I think it should be doing but this looks really easy. Thanks a lot!! The pixel numbers are completely off in the attachment and I just have a couple of port of the 48 ports configured but this seems pretty easy.

I see the also mention the serial port 1-4 at the end of the list of ports. So I guess I can configure models for a Renard board and then control the Renard board through that instead of defining a separate Renard controller (unless I want a separate connection that doesn't go through the F48).

Correct about the serial ports. If you have any problems feel free to drop into xlightszoom.com and the folks there can review what you have.
