Reflected Structural Plan button

Reflected Structural Plan button

In Plan Views drop-down button , please add a button for Reflected Structural Plan, similar to RCP plan. Structural engineers absolutely need this type of plan for creating Formwork plans for floors. This type of plan is mandatory in many European countries by law , in Russia, in many African Francophile countries and also in some Middle East countries.

@victor_vijeuKD42L , When creating a Structural Plan, there is the option in the Type Properties to set the View Direction to "Up" or "Down". Does this help?

@kimberly_fuhrman-jones , I know about that, but it doesn't work the way i need it to. Maybe there is something about the View Range i'm doing wrong or some other V/G setting. The workaround i found is to create a View Template for the structural floor with orientation Look Down called 'Floor Formwork'. Then , create a Plan Views button -> Structural Plan button -> Edit Type button -> Duplicate button -> Create a new Type called 'Floor Formwork Plan' -> View Template applied to new views : 'Floor Formwork' -> View Direction : UP -> Press OK. Then i create a New Structural Plan using Type :  'Floor Formwork Plan' for Level 1 and press OK. This works fine at the moment, but it requires multiple clicks, view template, new plan, etc, and is quite confusing for newbies. A dedicated button with all the right presets would help a lot, just like RCP button helps the architecture a lot.

@victor_vijeuKD42L , I understand what you're saying! Thank you for the additional details!
