Is it possible to Mirror Texture in Revit?

Hello Everyone
I'm trying to mirror a texture in Revit so that it looks nice in the rendering but I'm not sure if mirroring a texture exist in Revit so I had to use Photoshop to do so, but again I have this problem that sometimes it works and sometimes not. In the first picture you can see that I used 2 marble textures the first one is normal and the second one I only changed the rotation to 180 Degree to make it aligned and the texture was mirrored by Photoshop and the Position - offset of this 2 textures is the same, everything worked perfectly but then when I had to do the same thing again I started to have problems with this. As you can see I did the same steps as the first one but I had to change the Position - offset many times until it was aligned, why I can't have the mirror texture by same Position - Offset Parameters?Everything is the same, the only thing which is changed here is the second texture, it's mirrored by Photoshop and it has rotation of 180 DegreeEverything is the same, the only thing which is changed here is the second texture, it's mirrored by Photoshop and it has rotation of 180 DegreePosition offset is different, why does that happen?Position offset is different, why does that happen?

I think you are conflating two different things. Mirroring something and rotating something 180 degrees is not the same thing. 

 

BTW: very nice presentation.

Material 1.pngI use this method to rotate the texture 180. First you create hatch pattern the same size as your texture size. Next you would add split face to the tile. Once you add the split face, you would use paint material to the other surface.

 

Select the hatch line and then rotate the hatch. You will notice the texture will flip.

Not really, I know what are the differences but I'm trying to mirror a texture to get something like this. So was my approach correct by having 2 textures, one of them mirrored by Photoshop and rotated in Revit 180 Degree to get the Mirrored texture? I know by rotating the first texture won't let me have a mirrored texture in Revit that's why I'm doing the mirror in Photoshop and rotating it in Revit, so is that the right way to do it or it is possible to do it in Revit?
How can we do something like this?How can we do something like this?
