Hi
I have a situation where I have created a model (of a luxury villa) and then created sections and detail callouts with notes. I now need to create a handed version of these drawings for an adjacent second villa. As I understand it, the only way to do this is to create a linked model into a seperate file and then hand the linked file. My problem to date is that it does not mirror my sections and callouts with notes.
Does anyone know how this can be achieved or do I just have to suck it up and create new sections, callouts and re-note?
Thanks, Eldon
Ps It has been suggested to me (and I rather agree), why can't I just provide the builder with the setout of the site with the original villa and handed villa and just note on all plans, sections and details that they are handed for Villa 2. Last Edit on:11/22/2010 8:44:15 PM |  | | |

I think if you go to the manage tab, in the coordinates section, there is an option to mirror the project. It will mirror the entire project about an axis of your choosing. I know I have done this before, but I don't have Revit right in front of me at the moment.
If you can't find it, message back and I'll pull up Revit and tell you exactly how to get to it.
I don't believe it will automatically mirror drafting detail views, but I believe it will correctly mirror all of your other callouts/annotations.
Let us know how this goes, and it works as you expect it to! _______________

Hi
Thanks for that.
'Mirror Project' worked perfectly, it did in fact mirror the whole project including drafting detail views which I wasn't expecting. That should keep the builder happy and saved a lot of time!
I will just add that I think this is one of the most useful REVIT blogs on the web. Keep up the good work and thanks again.
Cheers, Eldon |
