Blank LOR Import Mapping screen

[MonstrousMike]

Disclaimer: I am brand new to xLights...

When trying to import a LOR sequence, the map channels page is blank. I tried this once before last week and was able to see the channels. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong.

Attached is a screen shot of the mapping page.

BTW, here's what I'm trying to do...
1. Import my four CCP arches from LOR, 50 pixels each. I created four 50 pixel arch models in xLights.
2. Copy the effects to four 75 pixel arches in xLights. (I have yet to create those models.)
3. Export the sequencing for the 75 pixel arches so I can paste it into LOR.

Why do I want to do this? I am going to run my show from LOR this year. I am adding four new arches to the display and want them to do the same things as my CCP arches. (The CCP arches will be at my neighbor's house, run via LOR easy light linker. The new arches will be at my house run via E1.31 on a Falcon F16V2-R.)

You cannot import to models that are not defined prior to the import.  Or to say it another way. the models must be defined in xlights first.

Hmmm... I guess I'll have to search for a video on that.

I have four 50 pixel arches modeled in xLights. I thought that was what I needed to be able to import the sequence with four 50 pixel LOR CCP arches. I must be missing something.

You have to add them in the sequencer window. It is not enough for them just to exist in layout.

Ah, that's probably what I'm missing. Thanks!

My comment was in response to the following which you posted

"2. Copy the effects to four 75 pixel arches in xLights. (I have yet to create those models.)"

It was my problem for the CCPs, too. I hadn't added the models to my sequence. Oops! I've got that part sorted out now. Thanks!
