how to recognize flipped families

[peter__smith]

Hello,

I've placed some windows in the model. A part of those windows are flipped.

Question:

How can I recognize which windows are flipped? 

Kind regards,

peter smith

Didn’t care about room schedules folks! I was hired to do shop drawings where nobody gives a twopence farthing for such things! Oy vei 🙂

Not when in the Window family window you don’t

There isn't anything to look at in your post. You've written a couple of replies as if there are images to look at, I don't see any in any of your posts.

They are the stock windows. Now try to add the (a) windows to the Interior Room under the Room schedule.

[SteveKStafford]

Same result, stock window no changes to it.

Why?

This job was shop windows no need. Just my Revitdyslexia acting up 🙂 Tried to find a way to stop the confusion re: flipped left right

[ToanDN]

I am asking you to move the (a) windows to the Interior Room in the schedule, while maintaining their location on plan. I am not asking you to replicate what I have shown.

This doesn’t mean anything to me. . . again here is my file : what does yours look like on an asymmetrical window don’t you have to flip it? This gets confusing when dealing with hundreds of configurations with Key types A1-L, A1-R etc., that is why i embarked on this admittedly strange solution. which again works just fine 🙂


Can’t you see this? It is patently obvious to me . . . but i am old school having learned how to draw on mylar decades ago . . .

I would love to see that i wouldn't have to do what i had to do. . . if the interior is down you simply have to think backwards Left is on the right side of the plan right?

Toan,

Follow Steve’s advice . . . he’s much smarter revit wise than i 🙂

My weird tilting @ revitmills was regarding shop drawings i didn’t need to know about interior room stuff.

I don't know what I'm supposed to "see", you've only written words, unless you believe your words are enough for me to "see" what you're describing. Are you attaching an image, PDF, file? When I read your posts it seems to me you are creating a shop drawing in the Family Editor portion of Revit, editing a family? Is that accurate?

Steve,

Why yes i always attach images to illustrate what i am trying to figure out.

Send me a proper email (i guess this format doesn’t support attachments).

@Anonymous There are two conversations going on at the moment, yours and the one that Toan and I started which is only slightly related. Sorry for the confusion. Toan has plenty of experience so when he's saying something isn't working I'm trying to understand what I'm missing.

@ToanDN I get what you were saying now, I don't have 2019 at my client's office at the moment so I mocked it up in 2018. I missed the embedded schedule caveat (though I did make one for my image). I thought the image was what you wanted, not just prep for making the change. The Room Calculation Point (flipped) allows me to reassign the window to the Interior room but the window changes orientation to do that and flipping the other windows does the reverse. I guess I'm lucky to not have run into this request before.

There is only one of your posts that has any images attached that I can see.

I too am lucky that I have not personally run into this requirement.  I have to admit that calling the OOTB window family being built wrong is a tad too far.  It is more like Revit rooms should be able to recognize exterior windows better.  Below are a couple of threads with related questions:
