Dave has found the root cause of crashes that occurred with some people and not others. It was related to single channel models that draw multiple lights but have only one channel.
It has been fixed in 3.5.1, the model i tried last night that crashes is now good.
Frankr has added ability to rotate models in the PREVIEW tab to include all models, not just single string.
REMEMBER!! Please ALWAYS do a "File,Backup" Before installing new software. Your xml files will be backed up into the Backup sub-directory under your show folder. Do It, it only takes a few seconds.
