How to place furniture?

Anonymous — Sun, 26 Jun 2016 17:51:23 GMT

When placing furniture, when I tap the spacebar it rotates 90 degrees. How can I place a mirrored copy?

What keys should I use?

Thank you for your help.

you can do it using Control tab - in Family editor select control tab and use Double Horizontal...Onnce , family loaded into Project , the flip icon will allow mirroring

But you are in Project ( as I can see from your screenshot).

You have to click on the Family Object (if it is already loaded) and then : Mode >Edit Family - enter in Family Editor - from here I shown in my screencast the steps..

In my screencast , I 've created a new Furniture Family from scratch...
