Matrix/Row model question

[txag2008]

I am having a large matrix across my roof and have set up my model as a horizontal matrix (12x40) in Xlights.  The model works great and the preview is nice to view effects across the matrix. 

I am now wanting the ability to control each row (string) of lights.  The only way I have seen to do this would be to create 12 separate models (one for each string) with the appropriate starting addresses.  My goal after doing this was to make the individual models 'overlay' the matrix model to make my preview appear as one big matrix.  The problem I am having is that even with the individual models (Roof Row 1, Roof Row 2...) at 100 for 'Element Size' it is significantly smaller than the entire matrix.  I changed the size of the matrix model down to 'Element Size' in the 20s but can never get it to exactly match the size/spacing of my individual models.

Thoughts how how/if this can be done?

Also while on the subject, it'd be great if the user had the ability to change the size of the dots/nodes that display in the Preview.

I was able to test and create a 12x40 and several of 1x40 models.   The sizes lined up perfectly at many various element sizes.  I'm running 3.4.12.

Did you notice the slider that says "Element size"?  Highlight the model name and then move the slider.

I am running 3.4.12.

Please see the attached screen capture of what I am referring to. I am aware of the slider to change the size.  The problem I am having is that even with the individual models (Roof Row 1, Roof Row 2...) at size 100 for 'Element Size' it is significantly smaller than the entire matrix.  I changed the size of the matrix model down to 'Element Size' in the 20s but can never get it to exactly match the size/spacing of my individual models.  Ideally my individual models (Roof Row 1, Roof Row 2...) would be larger when their 'Element Size' is at 100.

I noticed something similar with single line. I was trying to do the eves, but I could not make them long as I would have liked.

next release will have scaling from 1-300 instead of 1-100. you can get singlestrand and matrix widths to match.

release should be out this week

Nice to hear Sean.

Any consideration being given to having the ability to change/enlarge the size of the dots/nodes that display in the Preview?  Sure would be nice when viewing on larger monitors.

 That was a project for this year that got postponed when Matt left. We will look at it early next year

I know that Sean already made a change that fixed the inability to scale a single string enough to make it fit, but an easier solution was already there. You could have made your individual rows a 1x40 matrix. Then they would all come in at the same scale.
