You are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginI apologize Rick.  I don't have an LSP installation close to me to help walk you through it.  I e-mailed David to jump on and help, otherwise I will have to wait until I get to a computer with LSP this afternoon.  I know David is working on the help documentaion right now so there will be documentation coming for it.
This is the main reason for delayed release since we wanted to have all the documentation ready to go also.

I'm sorry for the delayed help on this one, but we will get you an answer soon one way or another.

Hey Guys,
I will try to explain the multi-channel drawing tools so that they make sense.

the design is very simple and currently limited to the Tree and Arch drawing tools.


* when you use either of the tools, you will see the size and shape of your Tree or arch
* when you release the mouse, you will be prompted if you would like to split the object.
* If you choose yes, you will be prompted for the start-segment channel and the end-segment channel
* you may also, reverse the segment sequence, by default it will be clockwise for trees and left-to-right for arches
* Currently you can only split the tree or arch across a single controller.
* when you have identified the channels to split across, click ok and the segments are updated to the channels.
* note: you may not see anything on the current drawing screen, as it will only show you the segment for the current channel.

**closing the drawing interface and returning to the sequence will reflect the fact that the multiple channels now have drawings on them (Indicated by the grey rectangles on the channel headers)


we plan to elaborate on this functionality in the near future.
more information can be found in the Help documentation.

Hope this helps,
David

Tried it this morning.    Got the first prompt "do you want to split".  After answering yes, nothing happens.   NEver got the channel prompt.    Back in the scheduler screen, I see the rectangle on one channel.

Edit:  further playing.....     I found how to do the split.  I had to start it from the scheduler screen instead of adding somthing to the visual and trying to tie it back to the schedular.   Cancel everything I said....    I'll go crawl back into my hole.

My Thanks to David and Larry

I was able to split up channels for a tree.

Steps to get it to work:
1 - Right click on a track #
2 - Click on Draw Channel Image
3 - Select either Arch or Tree effect
4 - Draw effect on screen
5 - Select Yes to Split Channels
6 - Select all 16 channels (in this case) (Start Channel = 1, End Channel = 16)
7 - Click on OK
8 - Click OK again
9 - Back to sequence screen

I created a new sequence with the following:
3 - Lynx Expresses

LE Mega Red (16 Channels all Red lights)
LE Mega Green (16 Channels all Green Lights)
LE Mega White (16 Channels all White Lights)

Two questions
1 - Is there a quick and easy way to have all of the channels on a controller the same color? ie: all red

2 - I selected from the split menu start channel = 1 and end channel = 16. But when I go back to the sequencing screen track 16 does not have the gray box symbol lit.

Thanks

Rick R.
