How to Flip A House?
In some areas of NYC, there are houses that are mirrored copies of the one next to it. They share a common wall area (sometimes its 2 walls side by side as 1) between the two, and along that wall, one house is a mirror copy of the one next to it. If the original has a set of stairs to the left, the mirrored house would have a set of stairs to the right, and so on.

Any way to grab a whole house or floors of a house and mirror flip it? I tried grouping but that only works on furniture, windows and doors, not walls or rooms.

Thanks for the help!

Advanced plugin has a flip function. Not perfect, but copy all first, then flip, might just do the trick. Expect some bum-steers, but it could be of help. ok

I was about to scream and curse and yell and post that it does not work - then I remember, "This is my old G4 PowerPC Mac running Java4 on it!" LOL!!!

It works 97% on the Windows PCs I have, like you said, there are some bum steers, but they are minor and easy to fix! Many thanks! This solves many headaches. Now to finish what I was doing!
