RGB panel : errors in Fixture monitor

Hello QLC+ forum,

Thanks for your welcome.
I'm starting with QLC+ so I can be wrong.

I'm not able to get the the correct fixture representation of my led bars which is 5 col 32 row / 1 univers (5*32=160 pixels)
The ”Fixture” tab build the correct configuration but the ”Functions > Fixture Monitor” draws 5 panels of 3 * 9 + 1 * 5 pixels

image attached.
That's of course not what I'm expecting. Do I miss something ?

Thank you very much for helping me.

that's because you created a RGB panel with 5 rows and 32 columns, not the opposite.
Also, remember to specify the physical dimensions, otherwise the preview will present a wrong layout

Is that mean I can't show 5 vertical bars of 32 leds in the fixture monitor ?
because I tried to reverse rows & cols definition and now I get horizontal blocks of 5 pixels.
I know I could turn them by 90° but my leds light up on the wrong axis.

That's why I've started previously by making 5 cols of 32 rows : for me rows are pixels cols are individual bars
Can't QLC+ set this ? Where am I wrong ?

image of my setup attached.

Sorry to insist because the 32 cols by 5 rows fixture definition is good to light up my 5 vertical led bars but the fixture monitor can't show 32 cols of 5 rows. It seems limited to blocks of 9 per 4 px. Please look attached. I don't want to troll more this forum.
Thanks for your replies.

Can you share your fixture definition?
In your case, these are 5x 32 headed fixtures. You will have to create a fixture profile for those...

Have a look at my example here:

The project file and custom fixture are attached.

Hello,

Many thanks for your previous advices guys.
So I made a Fixture for my ledbars (32 RGB pixels).

Now here's a new problem :
the QLC+ Fixture Editor loads the Heads horizontally.
I want them vertically, because the bars are physically standing up.

This is annoying because I have 32 heads per bar and 20 bars to set (you see 5 bars in the photo)

Is there a way to tell QLC+ to load the fixture vertically directly or should I move 20*32 heads manually one by one ?

In the 2D pre viz you can set an angle of 90° (look at my screenshot^^ I added them and rotate)
