Add ability to export a poly line model as a custom model. #4663

Open bloojoop opened 1 month ago

bloojoop commented 1 month ago

currently using 2024.12.

Some xLights model like the matrix model, circle, etc. have the ability to export as a xlights model as well as export as a custom model. The poly line model type only allows export as a standard xlights model and does not allow export as a custom model. Can we add the ability to export as a custom model ? If so, can it maintain the 3d positioning of nodes? When exporting a poly line model type that has been configured in 3d, it flattens the model and does not import with the 3d positioning of the nodes.

Just a note that I dont think you want this to come as a custom model because of the render issue. Perhaps the co-ordinates could be embedded into the export as an xlights model though?

digging through this a little bit, I discovered that if I import this specific model, it comes in looking very flat. then if I modify the z scale in the rgeffect file from 1 to 383 then the model looks correct. there is no way that I see to modify the z scale value on the poly line model but there is on custom model. If we had a way to set zscale on the poly line model, that would be helpful maybe. ?
