static layer maps

Post by neilric99 »

How do I store my matrix map elements for easier use in layers

I have a number of display elements (matrix, megatree, lightpoles) that I have mapped my elements of various sizes onto 150 x 100 matrix, how do I store the elements as seperate areas on the master map so that I can easily select the element on that layer without having to hand select the individual areas every time.

So rather than selecting the area for the layer I would like to click on the area where say my matrix lives and control click on other areas to add other areas if I need to have that layer across multiple areas.

Sorry, currently this is not possible with MADRIX.
.
We suggest to create one storage place as template where you map 3 layers for example.
Than using this storage place with copy and paste into a new storage place and select the effects you have in mind.
LEDs are nothing without control ;-)

thanks Wissmann for the workaround that I will use for this year.

Thanks for that!

Just a tip:
You can speed up the copy process. Just go to the menu Edit -> Copy Storage Places. You will have some quite convenient options there.
