I just set up my 8 arches model ... (which I have in 8 groups of 15 nodes) per arch (using 120 node ss flex strip) ... and I just entered in "8" RGB arches of 8 nodes each ... and then gave the start ranges to each (to skip my first three hybrid channels) on each arch. Then I can apply RGB effects like singlestrand or spirals to this arches model. I took these arches out of node mode last year and have decided to keep it that way, despite how I am limiting myself by doing so. I just kind of like the 8 segment arch look, even in RGB. You still get motion when you want it ... but its a lot less channels to control.
