I have five walls of led tape. How do I patch it?

Just got a project and I've never used Madrix before. They bought everything I need. The four interior walls of the room have two 24' rows on the top and bottom, and seven columns of LED tape along each wall between the two rows, and one led strip on the ceiling.

That's a terrible representation, but that's basically it for each of the four interior walls of the room. Omit the space between the columns and rows.

I can patch one wall seemingly alright, but I have no idea what to do after that.

() Do I just patch straight across? Will that just make one giant, linear screen that doesn't really work?

() If I use Z, how do I add the ceiling, or fourth wall?

() Is there a simpler way to do this that I just don't know?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm so very lost.

Hello blaklights,
Welcome to the MADRIX forum.
.
When you want to create a patch with the desired fixtures you should work with the "Patch Editor" in MADRIX. With the help of the "Patch Editor" you can create very complex patches.
Under the following links you can learn how you can work with the "Patch Editor":

If you want to create the 4 different walls behind each other, you have to work with different Z layers in the patch. Under the following link you can learn how you can create a 3D patch:
