Im trying to build a matrix that is 18x9 with 1 string having 100 nodes and the other is 62...How can I build this in PE..I tried to create 3 strings with 54 nodes each with 1 fold but when I play it the lights don't match up.. Thanks

Use the custom shape. In the custom grid, label the pixels in your first string 1-100. Label the pixels in the second string 1001-1062. Prop Definition will recognize this as a prop that uses 2 strings.

BTW, you can do this in Excel, then copy/paste from Excel into the custom grid in Prop Definition - it may be faster if you are already familiar with Excel.

Thanks for the tips Matt. This helped me a lot for my house as I had to combine two strands for an outline and wanted the effects to treat it as one strand. Is there anyway to resize a custom object or to choose bottom or top? I was able to create the custom prop but I wanted to try to align it to my home on the preview design. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
