TheoryDesign Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 Is this a possibility in v13 or 14? I'm aware of similar software having a function that can show & select all stacked levels of a building at one time, making it easy to move, rotate, mirror or cut & paste entire buildings. It's not foolproof, but it gets it 95% there, saving a ton of time. I'm about to start designing an addition to a house plan that I've modeled once before in the same neighborhood, except this one is the mirror version of it. I'm hoping I won't have to start from scratch? If so any shortcuts others may have discovered in doing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richoffan Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 You can take your file of the existing plan of the house you modeled before and copy it. Then save the file copy for your new file so it doesn't interact with the existing model. To move, rotate, etc. select Edit>Edit Area>Edit Area (All Floors) To mirror the plan select Tools> Reverse Plan. Hope that helps 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoryDesign Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 Thanks Eric, DBCooper & richoffan--I burned time searching every possible term & still would not have landed on Edit Area (Help sections & videos & ChiefTalk archives are only useful if one knows the correct combination of words, it seems). I appreciate your responses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
