Hi,

Unsure if it is an issue or me making the wrong assumptions.
Basically I created an XLS file to build a matrix of lights (rows/columns), and to get all lights easily aligned within those rows/columns.
Works like a charm if you know what fields to play around with :-) --> If you don't, use the UI of QLC+...

BUT, now I noticed that the 2D viewer shows a different alignment compared to my 3D view.
Compare 1 and 2 in the 2D and the 3D viewer; you will see different spacing/alignment. Same goes for 3 and 4.

As expected.

Not corresponding.

Could it be that the origin of an object in 2D and 3D are different?
Or is something else causing the different representation?

In v5 the 2D view has several point of views that you can set via "3-lines" menu on the top right part of the 2D preview
You are probably comparing a top view with a front view

Just checked your assumption/suggestion.
Don't think it's related to that based on what I see on-screen.
