Revit Wall Based Family with 2 Rhino Model - Flip one, one will hide.

[asianyangman]

Hello fellow community members,

I have two vine models in mesh from Rhino that are imported(Rhino 2 3dm) into a Revit wall-based family template file and placed in the same position.

What I want to achieve is:

By default, one of them will be hidden while the other one will be visible. When the user flips this object horizontally, the visible model will disappear, and the hidden one will appear. Is it possible to set up something like this in Revit with non-native data? I tried importing them into a generic model family template first. Then, I nested them into a wall-based family. This gave me more control over visibility and seemed much more promising, but I still can't figure out what to do next.

Thanks for any kind of help in advance!

Create two types in the family and turn on off the imports properly for each type.  Any flipping should be incorporated into the types, not in project.

Why so complicated? Why don't you just do a one-vine-Family and place instances of it in the Project where ever you like?  

But, if you got to do it your way, I would delete one vine and place a  Double Horizontal Flipper in the Family.

...just to clear: I misspoke. I would not do a Flipper myself. I'm only suggesting it as a possible workaround for you. Me, myself and I would do a one-vine Family - period, stop.
