External references? and mirroring?
I have a building that consists of two of the same unit plans but one is mirrored... how could I setup my drawings where I could mirror the unit and have to modify only one side and both will update with the changes? Similar to AutoCAD xrefs I guess... or blocks?
Thanks!

Keep two versions of the model. The first one is only one half, and is the one you edit. The second shows both sides and is the one you use for presentation. When you need to make changes, make them in the first one, then use Edit Area - All and Reflect about Line to create the second half. Once you get used to the Edit Area/Reflect maneuver it's fast and easy.
I would love for some future release to have xrefs however.
