Window & Door Mirroring

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi Guys,

I'm having an issue where I have created a horizontal sliding window which slides from right to left, or vice versa, but it can be mirrored on the floor plan which is the issue.
The Window codes are for example 123L or 123R depending on which one you choose.
So lets say I choose the 123L (Left slider), I can place it and it will display correct, but I can still mirror it and it will obviously be incorrect.
How do I combat this?
How do I Block Mirroring or how do I change the Window code depending on the mirrored status?

Many thanks,

"Unmirror" the content if mirrored:

IF SYMB_MIRRORED then....

<code>

endif

Or if your window code is a parameter in the window then you could have ...

IF SYMB_MIRRORED = 0 then

win-code = "123L"

else

win_code = "123R"

endif


That way you only need the one object.
