How many Radial Electrolytics are we talking?</p>]]>

Since its centered on the origin, this should flip the stripe to the other side. Haven't tried it, but that should be a temp fix.</p><p>Its also feasible to do this in code, but I would need some UI to denote this is what was intended and its a very specialized use case. I'll run it by Jeff.</p>]]>
