To Reverse a 2D or 3D Elevation

Use this procedure to reverse the direction of an elevation by reversing the elevation line and updating the elevation.

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

1. Select the elevation line that you used to create the elevation.
2. Click Building Elevation Line tabModify panelReverse.

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

3. Select the existing elevation.
4. Click 2D or 3D Section/Elevation tabModify panelRegenerate.
   Note: For a 2D elevation, if you do not need to respecify the objects to include in the elevation, you can click 2D Section/Elevation tabModify panelRefresh instead of Regenerate. This immediately updates the elevation.
5. If you need to include different objects in the updated elevation, click (Reselect Objects), select the objects, and press Enter.
6. Click OK.
