That link is blocked for me where I'm at.  Is there a question?  I don't normally click on links when there is nothing telling me what to expect when I get there.

Very difficult to explain, but I'll try.  I have one continuous run of pixels on my roof so it starts on a lower gutter line and I jump to the top roof and run all the way around to the other side.  The red line represents how I run my pixels.  Again, one continuous run with jumps to other roof areas.  I'm having a problem and worried that what I'm seeing in XL might not be a representation of what's really going to happen on the pixels.  In Layout I created my outline using lines.  So the top left roof is TopRoofa through TopRooff.  Then TopRighta-TopRightc, then TopPeaka-TopPeakc.  All lines.  However, if you'll notice on the left hand side, that run sequentially actually goes from right to left, then up to the ridge, then to the right then down, then again from right to left.  When I draw those in XL Layout in my mind the numbers should be reversed on the ones where the pixel numbers go right to left.  The lines in Layout are represented in green in the photo.  However, when I make changes in Layout and go to preview a wipe or bars...nothing changes.  What I'm TRYING to do is do a chase type effect where the entire left top outline is green then a red bar chases through the line of pixels.  However, it never shows correctly.  I've tried grouping, etc...My video explains it better and I'm more than happy to let someone Teamview in to help me...probably a quick explanation and my own fault.  Also, as a test I created a custom model where I used my garage outline as a test and I numbered the pixels sequentially line effects still show as a sort of wipe instead of chasing down the line.

If someone who's more knowledgeable than I has some time today to Teamview...I have some specific questions to ensure I understand what's going on with some thing's I see....I will record it and post it here for all to benefit.

The work around was to create a string with all the pixels...a chase them runs up the string
