How to adjust nodes per strings for mega tree?

[Gooliez]

I've created a MegaTree in Xlights, Total of 900 Nodes, Plus a Star on top that's 150. which means I need to go 2 strings.

i'm using 100 pixel Strings and the tree is 50 Pixels high, so 1 cable is 50 up and loops back down for another 50, then I join the next Cable for a total of 9 cables and 18 overall Strands.

Xlights auto splits it at the 450 node mark for the tree. but because it's a vertical Zigzag configuration starting at the bottom the 2nd String wants to start at the top which is 50% of the way of the Cable.

How do I adjust so that i can have 500 on the first string, then 400 + 150 for the second?

or have a setup the tree wrong?

Cheers

you can't do uneven setups with the standard megatree model in xlights.

So only option is to do a custom one then?


Edit: Ok, so figured out an Easier way, bit of button clicking. Exported the Megatree file, imported as a custom model. Unfortunately the second half of it was in the wrong orientation, so I manually clicked with auto increment all the nodes from 450 - 900 in the opposite direction.
Then set "Nodestart1" as 1 and Nodestart 2 as 501.

yeah you can do it with a custom model, but I strongly recommend just changing your physical setup to use the standard megatree model.
