Panel Layout

Panel layout refers to how panels are arranged within a screen grid and how they appear in the various views.

Grid Layout

Panels are arranged in a rectangular grid defined by the screen's dimensions (panels wide x panels high). Each cell in the grid holds one panel.

Adding and Removing Panels

Use the grid resize controls in the Screens panel to add or remove rows and columns from any edge. You can also:

• Disable individual panels — Right-click a panel and disable it for irregular screen shapes
• Delete panels — Remove a panel from the grid entirely

Irregular Shapes

Not all LED walls are perfect rectangles. To create L-shapes, cutouts, or other irregular configurations:

1. Create a grid large enough to encompass the entire shape
2. Disable panels in positions where no physical panel exists
3. Disabled panels are excluded from all calculations (strings, power, BOM)

Positioning in Views

LED Mapping View

In the LED Mapping view, panels are arranged on the processor canvas showing how they map to outputs. You can:

• Drag panels to reposition them
• Use arrow keys to nudge selected panels (1px per press, 10px with Shift)
• Auto-pack screens to arrange them automatically

2D Layout View

In the 2D Layout view, panels are positioned according to their physical dimensions in millimeters. This gives you an accurate top-down view of the installation with:

• Real-world measurements
• Cable length calculations
• Ruler guides and grid snapping
• Arrow key nudging (1mm per press, 10mm with Shift)

3D View

In the 3D View, screens are positioned in 3D space. You can move and rotate entire screens using transform handles. Panel positions within a screen are determined by the grid and physical dimensions.

Auto-Pack

The auto-pack feature automatically arranges screens on the mapping canvas to minimize wasted space. It runs automatically when using the New Project Wizard and can be triggered manually from the mapping view toolbar.
