The Mirror tool reverses the position of a selected model element, using a line as the mirror axis.
You can pick the mirror axis or draw a temporary axis. Use the Mirror tool to flip a selected element, or to make a copy of an element and reverse its position in one step.
- Do one of the following:
- Select the element to mirror, and on the Modify | <Element> tab
Modify panelMirror drop-down, click either
(Mirror - Pick Axis) or
(Mirror - Draw Axis).
- Click Modify tabModify panelMirror drop-down, and click either
(Mirror - Pick Axis) or
(Mirror - Draw Axis). Then select the element to mirror, and press
Enter.
To select the line that represents the mirror axis, select Pick Mirror Axis. Or to sketch a temporary mirror axis line, select Draw Mirror Axis.
- Select the element to mirror, and on the Modify | <Element> tab
- To move the selected item (rather than making a copy of it), clear Copy on the Options Bar.
- Select or draw the line to use as a mirror axis.
You can pick only a line or a reference plane that the cursor can snap to. You cannot mirror an element around empty space.
Note: After using the Mirror tool, user-specified settings are remembered for subsequent uses of the tool.
Revit LT moves or copies the selected element and reverses its position opposite the selected axis.
