Changing the Window Orientation

Use the following procedure to change a window’s horizontal orientation (hand) or vertical orientation (facing).

  1. In a plan view, select the window.
  2. Right-click, and click the desired option:
    If you want to… then select…
    flip the window horizontally Flip Hand. This option is available only for window families created with horizontal controls.
    flip the window vertically Flip Facing. This option is available only for window families created with vertical controls.

    Alternatively, you can click either of the corresponding flip controls (Flip the instance hand or Flip the instance facing) that display in the drawing when a window is selected.
