Reverse Cross Sections when Reversing Plan

[country]

This is a full construction drawing then my client decided to move the driveway and garage to the opposite side of the lot and now have to flip the house.

I have used the Edit Area All and successfully reversed the plan but.... none of the sections reversed.  They all remained in the original location so are not correct.

 

I presume this is what happens but am hopeful someone has a suggestion on a possible way to save all the work I have done on the sections.

 

I posted this under another question but realized it should have started a new topic. I should also note that this is in CA X16.

You can copy elevation/section cameras but you can't rotate or reverse them. What I've done in this situation before is make a copy of my section view layer set and turn off all of the layers except the layers containing the elements I need to copy over to the new section view, usually just text and CAD objects. Then copy them over to the new section view, reflecting about and point to point moving to the correct position. Still takes some fiddling around but usually better than doing it over.

You could take a previous copy of the  plan file and use the reverse plan tool. That method will reverse the section cameras, so you can copy those cameras into the plan you are using. Move them into the same location and they should be good to go, with the exception of the dimensions.

 

I just performed the same procedure you described and I did something similar to what Brett described but with a bit of a difference. I'll take note of the section cameras position, then move it far away from the building in order to reverse and reposition any cad items, and then move the camera back into position. You can move the camera using transform/replicate or in the position dialog box.
