TO OTHER REVIT USERS,

I HAVE PROJECTS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THE REVERSE OF. DOES REVIT HAVE AN EASY WAY TO FLIP A WHOLE PROJECT? ELEVATIONS, FLOOR PLANS, FLOUNDATION, SECTIONS AND ALL.? ATTEMPTS THUS FAR HAVE DELETED ELEMENTS OR ONLY REVERSED SOME OF THE ITEMS. IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE A ONE STEP OPTION... AM I DREAMING?

IF ANYONE HAS A METHODE PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.

I've mirrored a project... a large project (Architecture) and as I went throught the project, I made a list of all the thing that I ran into as far as cleaning up the construction documents after.

It turns out, it's not just a one click deal.

Your linked thoughts is a good post.

BTW - This thread that you posted in dealt with mirroring a project before the mirror project tool.  The mirror project tool was a good advancement but as you point out, there are still things the user has to check out.  That is why in the HELP they warn you "In some cases when you mirror a project, relationships between elements are not supported as in the original orientation of the project. This can lead to unexpected results and errors, for example some elements may deviate from exact reflection. After you mirror the project, a message displays to indicate any errors encountered. You can export errors to review and correct them."
