Edit LED Wall Shape |
LED wall context menu |
Certain parameters of an LED wall depend on its Wall Mode. For example, an aspect wall has linked height and width, so changing one changes the other to maintain the aspect ratio. Supports, trim height, offsets, panel selection, and other settings may also restrict editing.
To edit the LED wall geometry:
Do one of the following:
Right-click on the LED wall and select the context command.
When there are no panels in the wall, simply double-click on the wall to activate the Reshape tool.
Select the wall and then click the Reshape tool.
Adjust the wall length or height by dragging to move the handles. When there are panel symbols, the tool snaps to potential spots based on the size of the panel symbols, and panels are added if needed. It may take some time to generate and auto number the new panels in the wall.
If you've made custom changes to the wall (for example, swapped out a different size panel or different panel symbol), editing it will discard the changes since the wall and its panels are regenerated.
