Use the Spacebar to flip a selected element.
You can select multiple elements and flip them all at the same time. Free standing families, such as furniture and columns, rotate 90 degrees each time you press the Spacebar. Some annotations can be flipped. For example spot slopes, baseline dimensions, and ordinate dimensions can be flipped.
The following general rules apply to using the Spacebar to flip multiple elements:
- When multiple walls are selected, pressing the Spacebar flips the orientation of them all.
- For elements such as doors, which can be flipped in 2 directions relative to their host, press the Spacebar multiple times to cycle through the possible positions.
- If elements constrained to flip in only one direction (such as windows) are selected with elements that can flip in multiple directions (such as doors), then all elements flip along the common direction.
Pressing the Spacebar does not work in the following cases:
- The selection contains any element that cannot be flipped.
- The selection includes elements that do not share a common flip direction.
For example, if you select a door and its host wall, you cannot use the Spacebar to flip the selection.
