Just a quick and I'm hopping easy question I have a large 360 Derek tree iv added it to xlights but how do I change it so not all the strands start at the bottom. Ideally I'd want it to start at bottom go to the top then cut across the top and work it's way back down for strand 2 and keep zig zagging across to save having to use a extension to get the stand back down to the bottom. Any help would be greatly appreciated

in the layout tab- This is my layout to achive what you are wanting.
How many connections to the controller - I have 5 (#strings)
How many nodes(lamps) per string- I have 200 (nodes /string)
How many strands are there to a string- I have 4(strands /string)
This configuration gives - 20 strings of 50 with 5 connections to the controller.

for you,
I would use one string -controller connections-( as you are showing a total of 170 pixels).
Nodes per string would equal 170
Strands per string would equal 10
