How to control individual parts of a coro prop

[Jack S]

I want to do something I've never done before. I want to add a large 8ft snowman to my display. I downloaded the outline from Gilbert Engineering which contains 472 pixel locations. Within this layout are 9 different body parts I would like to have separate control of. I don't know how to separate the parts from the overall unit. For instance the buttons are no. 1 thru 60. Yes I know I have to wire it in the  order of each of those body parts but how in xLights do I set this up? Right now it's all one unit in the layout and one bar in the timing sequence.
Thanks for any help

You want to create Sub Models. Some vendors will include sub models in the download. This video might help

Okay got all the sub models to show up in the sequence and they show in the layout but no pixels are assigned to them and the sub models don't show up in visualize or when you open the controller and look at pixel settings. Is that not necessary or how does that work?

That is correct .. the submodels are just something in the sequencer to sequence to. They are not in the visualizer nor do they appear as separate items in the controller.
