Window is reversed when previewing

[needbrew]

Hi All,

When I wired up my window model it appears that it is backwards to the way Xlights has the model.  Is there an easy way to flip the way the model is from clockwise to counter clockwise?

[Gilrock]

Nope...only by using a custom model.

[needbrew]

crap.  That would be a nice feature to add the clockwise/counter clockwise to the options

You can probably reverse it in the controller.

I'm sure it may be improved but I don't think anyone has added a Github issue for it.  Before building any prop I think its good to model it in whatever sequencer you use which can help guide you how to wire it up.

FYI, I am using a Falcon F16-V2 controller and can switch it to reverse in there.  Hopefully that may helps someone else

I think you will find that reversing in the controller doesn't work.  It works for straight line models but you have a rectangle with a window.  So imagine we rendered pixels that were supposed to be going from the bottom left corner and going up....you reverse the string and now they are moving right.  So some effects will look ok but if you have directional movement to the effects it won't look correct.

Well damn.  Thought I found something easy.  So would it be best to re-wire or just use a custom model?

Sometimes it is just best to bite the bullet and fix it right, then forget it, because stuff like that comes back to haunt you later.  Been there done that.

[needbrew]

Yeah, I am going to re-wire it.  wish I had know before I did the windows. 

[Gilrock]

I would think a custom model should be really easy.

[needbrew]

so the custom model worked like a champ.  Now the problem is I have a boscoyo 42 inch wreath that I thought was wired up the way the model appears in the layout but the effects are going backwards.

[Gilrock]

Did you look at the wiring view to compare with how it's wired on the back?

[Gilrock]

Ah nevermind...wiring view is only custom models.

[needbrew]

I guess the only way to fix the wreath is a custom model or rewire it.  Maybe it just me but I wish it was more obvious how to wire these models.
