Cannot Mirror Daylight Sub Assembly

Does anybody know why I can't mirror the Daylight Inside ROW Subassembly? For some reason I can only place it on the right side of my assembly and in the subassembly properties there is no option to flip it to the left. In the Modify Subassembly section when it's selected the mirror option is greyed out. 

 

What I am trying to accomplish seems simple enough:

 

I have a utility easement in a drainage ditch that is 30' wide with a sewer line designed down the center, we need a very simple 10' access road on the uphill side of sewer line with 4:1 Cut/Fill slopes on either side when possible, however when the 4:1 won't catch within the easement I need it to daylight within.

 

At first glance the Daylight Inside ROW seems to be the appropriate subassembly for this instance but I can't get it on the left side of my road.Is there a way to set up this parameter with a different subassembly because I can get other subassemblies on the either side just fine, for example, the Cut Slope Layout Mode subaasembly works but when I build my corridor with it the slopes tie outside of the easement in several locations.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks,

 

Joseph

This type of subassembly has an offset instead of side and width. Want it to go to the left? Just use a negative value for the offset.

This is one of the subs whose 'side' is determined by the offset used. Enter a negative offset and it will go to the left.

One more question, should each offset be the distance from centerline to edge of corridor?

Yes, it's the total offset from the baseline (alignment).
