Making copies of models?
« on: December 03, 2014, 03:48:23 PM »
Hey everyone!

Just tweaking some stuff here wanted to add some more of my LOR channels into my current list of models...

Is there a way to make a custom model for something and then copy it like 8 times and just change the starting channel? It's getting annoying having to build the same thing over and over again....

Thanks!

On the custom model screen, just highlight and copy the cells once your data is there as if it were Excel.

Create a new model and PASTE.

All the models will have 1,2,3,4,5,6 ETC.

The only difference is the name and starting channel.

Do not ask to know all the answers, but ask to understand the question.

make sure you start the first model off with pixel #1 in the grid.  assign the starting channel in the field to the left.  as you copy the model, just change the left field.

while you can start the grid at a higher number, it will not work the way you want when cloning/copying the model.
