Grand Illusion - K16 - starting location question

[drlucas]

I have two home-brew grand illusion props built and one spins clock wise and the other counter clock wise. When I switch the starting location from top inner to bottom inner nothing changes in the preview for xlights and outside on the actual prop things flip upside down. I think thats by design. When however I switch top inner - CCW to top inner CW I have an expectation that the prop would spin the opposite way...but it doesn't, what happens is the preview in the xlights spins the opposite way.

I need help understanding starting location setting in layout mode with bottom inner/top inner/etc...

is there a faq that exists....I think this might be a bug, but it also might be by design, I'm just new to these HD props (wohoo for home built CNC machine and wohoo to so many features with xlights - I just need a bit of pointing in the right direction for this one).

thanks for any guidance!

Sounds like you want to go into the model data, right click, and flip the model. How you wired it doesnt control how xlights shows the model/renders the model in the previews.

UGH! because I don't have a custom model I can't easily flip - but I think I can export and import the model and get it to work....what was I thinking when I wired this up originally. build one prop...stop....test...build exact same clone...stop test..... sadly I didn't follow those instructions.

will see what I can do - thanks for the suggestion.
