Thanks, yea spend some time creating the models, but it really helps me when visualizing the house model, if not gets really confusing.  Yea the mini trees are half trees too cheap to go all the way around with the RGb's, besides that no one beside me sees the backs of the trees.  I figured that one of the RGB models got corrupt it was just weird that it happened when I was working with the A/C elements ramps and such.  What wold be the best way to fix it?

I think if you go to the layout tab, open the models dialog, and open the settings for the Mini Tree #1 and change the type to Tree 360 and then back to Tree 180, it should fix it.

Alternatively, open up the xlights_rgbeffects.xml (with xLights closed) in notepad or something and change the attribute to "Tree 180".

Hi Daniel, that fixed the issue what was strange it was turned around.   The original models are set for 180 when I check Mini tree #1 it was set for 360.  The other mini trees were fine.  I switched #1 back to 180, now everything is fine.  Thanks for your help really appreciate it.  Was really confused, it was just weird how it happened I'm thinking it must have happened when I did a render.  I do it time to time to run part of the sequence to see how its looking.  Anyway thanks again.

My problem might be similar. I have just started setting up XLights to replace my LOR SS software now that I'm over my license count with RGB Pixels. I've not yet started any sequencing.
I have just laid out my models (While traveling with my laptop) and I've attempted to copy my show directory to the PC running at the house. (New install).  All other tabs appear to be fine, but when I attempt to view the layout tab, the application crashes. I applied updates to go from 4.2.17 to 4.2.25 and I'm still crashing.

And I can confirm it's also crashing on 4.3.0

This looks to be video driver related to me.

Thank you.
I've updated the video drivers and the problem is now gone!
