mirrored hotlink missing parts

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have a hotlink which is used twice in my project. One is un-mirrored and the other is mirrored. The un-mirrored one is fine but the mirrored one looses some walls. If I delete the mirrored one and copy mirror the original un-mirrored one, the walls reappear and everything is fine until I next load the project and they disapear again!

Any one had this problem and knows what is causing it?

Thanks.

I also had a problem with a mirrored hotlink module..
But was the materials name that in some units changed.. so when I exported them... it was a mess... I couldn't resolve it.. Let's see if anyone have a good idea.

Unless you tell us the version of ArchiCAD you are using and the platform (Mac or Windows), etc. - nobody is really going to be able to help you much. Click the text link "Profile" near the top of the page and fill in your signature with your information.

Thanks,

This is a known bug.
Mirror a copy of original pieces and create a separate module of the mirrored condition.

Thats carzy! Then you have two modules to edit. The whole point of modules is to reduce drawing time. I don't remember getting this problem on 11?

Also spelt "Khazi" but pronounced the same, and with the same meaning.
Thanks goodness I read (thanks guys for writing) this thread. That renders 12 unusable for me. I had converted a large project to a trial version but had not noticed the problem (maybe because I did not work with the modules or insert new modules, I just checked that everything that was already there looked fine?)
By the way, is there any 'Known issues' document/webpage/wiki for each release? (which by the way maybe should have a link from right next to the 'Update' or 'Download' button)
