Straight Line Prop Questions

[markrvp]

I have a couple question about setting up straight lines and sequencing them...

1.)  If I create a straight line prop for the C9 pixels going across my gutter line, and the first node is on the far right, do I select BOTTOM RIGHT or TOP RIGHT for the start point?  Or does it matter?

2.)  I have rectangular sections of my yard that are outlined in C7 pixels.  To model these I've created 4 straight line props.  The right and left sides are rotated 90 degrees.  Even though they are going UP and DOWN (visually the Y-axis), when using the curtain effect and morphs is it correct I still have to treat them as Left/Right X-axis?

3.)  Would I be better off to create custom models for these rectangle areas in my yard?

Mark,
1) I would use bottom right;  all my gutters start on the far left side and I use bottom left for those. Also, if you have this drawn out on your layout, why not do a simple chase and see what it looks like on your model.
2) Your rectangular sections sound just like a window model - 2 equal sides and top/bottom equal. Setting up as 4 individual models is fine too since you can create different effects on each side.
3) So many options you can do - single line (just like you did); a window model or a custom model.  It really depends on what effects you want to achieve.
Once again, I suggest create your models, and add a couple effects to them and see what you like.  You may end up with all 3 types and use different effects for parts of your song.
Oh, if you use the single line, also create you a group and include all 4 sides - another option to choose in sequencing.
