Flip Flop

[captron]

Sometimes its just not wise to show up for work.

After quite some time designing a complex 2 storey house, the client would like the plans flipped (Left to right not front to rear), ostensibly to take advantage of the rising sun.

I can do this easily in other programs, but have yet to find an easy way of doing this in CA. Given this is a computer I would have thought it an easy if not important option. Did I miss it?

I see reference in the 9.5 Manual to "Flip Layers" but the explanation of this is vague with no examples, it seems to refer to individual walls.

Surely there is some convenient way of doing this.

Under Tools, use Reverse Plan. Is this what you're looking for?

You are a good man! Missed it completly and used the wrong words to search (Take note CA).

....Too bad you have to rotate to to do Front-->Rear.

Thanks again

You're welcome Captron. The Flip Layers does refer to your walls. Sometimes walls get reversed where the outside is to the inside and vice versa. Usually due to being drawn in the incorrect direction. Easily corrected by opening the Walls Spec. dbx and checking Flip Layers. Wait till Saturday to not show up for work.

You might also look into using the edit area tools. With edit area, you can reflect about a line which may give you more control to do what you want.
