Mirrored building

[Simon_Weel]

I guess it's not a new problem, but I haven't found a solution yet. Three identical buildings, with the middle one being mirrored. So the idea is to model one building and link that model into a new project, create a copy and create a mirrored copy of the link. There you have it - three buildings for the price of one.

The contractor wants to schedule the amount of components like doors, windows etc. for all three buildings. And then you have to know if those components are mirrored or not. Don't have a clue how to do that? Anybody?

I would still create the one building in a seperate project (Lets call this building A). I would save my project file as for building C (The copy of building A). I would mirror building as save as building B.

Link the three building projects into your main file, and you will be able to draw up a schedule where you can filter the schedule to only show elements per specific linked file. You just have to check the Include elements in Links checkbox and select available fields from your Revit Links (Link name). you can then filter your schedule to Building A elements only, Bulding B elements only etc.
