To Reverse a 2D or 3D Section

Use this procedure to reverse the direction of a section by reversing the section line and refreshing the section.

The direction of the section is determined by the direction in which you drew the section line. You can select the section line in plan view to see the bounding box that defines the area of the model included in the section. If the box does not include the area of the model that you intended, you can reverse the section line. If you have already created a section from the section line, update the section after reversing the section line.

1. Select the section line that you used to create the section, and click Building Section Line tabModify panelReverse.

   The section line is mirrored about its own axis, as is the bounding box with its original parameters.

2. Select the existing section.

   If you selected…	Then click…
   a 2D section	click 2D Section/Elevation tabModify panelRegenerate. Note: If you do not need to respecify the objects to include in the section, you can instead click 2D Section/Elevation tabModify panelRefresh. This immediately updates the section.
   a 3D section	click 3D Section/Elevation tabModify panelRegenerate

3. If you want to include different objects in the updated section, click (Reselect Objects), and select the objects. Press Enter when you finish selecting objects.
4. Click OK.
