Flip Railing on Reference Line

I have a question about the "Flip Railing on Reference Line" command. I need to edit Railings in a project where there is a large number of railings already modelled. 

 

I can inject parameters or apply Favourite on these existing Railings, but they were modelled in different directions and I need to "flip" about half of them.

 

The problem is, that the "Flip" command works only on -one- Railing object at the time, which is quite time consuming if you have many railings to edit... Is it a bug that you can edit only one at the time or am I missing something?

Interesting.

If you use the command in the menu, then only the last selected rail flips as you said.

But if you use the reference line position button in the info box, all selected rails will flip.

Thanks Barry. The problem is that I have some Rails offset in the X-direction in my new railing, so I need the "Flip" command. Changing the Reference line position keeps these "offset" rails on the wrong side.
