FLIP WALL ON CENTRE AXIS

Okay for another quick one

when you realise a stack of walls are flipped the wrong way and the quick way is to hit space or the flip arrows, but that moves the wall and takes everything attached with it then you have to move it back to position

 

can a wall be quickly flipped on its axis and then you can move on, and keep the constraints and not have to move it back to position

 

mirror command spins the system out with delete warnings? that takes off all the constraints set up with floors and roof so that's not an option

Do you have a compsite wall or a "single  material" Wall. If that is the case, you check with "Location Line" do you have chosen. To flip it on Centre Axis ou should have "Wall Centerline" or "Core Ceneterline"

If you have a compiste wall that is more tricky. Maybe try Aligning! the wall to a new position first, and then flip it. Aligning usually keeps the contraints, while Moving usuallly breaks it.

Hi,

in addition that @anze.kumar says, if you have placed the wall with Location Line "finish face exterior" for example, change the Location Line to "Wall Centerline", flip the wall and then change it back to "finish face exterior".

Are you talking about Stacked Walls? Flipping the upper/lower independently? If so, right-click and press Break up and Disallow Join.
