Mirroring a model
Mirroring a model
(OP)
Is it possible to mirror a model that you have already created....for instance:
I have a model of an interior that is FWD facing on the RHS but I need it to be the exact same model FWD facing on the LHS.
My experimenting has not yielded very good results thus far...ideas, thoughts?

• If you want to GENERATE new elements based on existing ones, for instance by symmetry of the existing mesh, then use "Mesh > Reflect > Element".
• But if you wand to MODIFY an existing mesh, then you can use commands from the MODIFY menu, bases in your explanatio probably the best that fits your needs could be "MODIFY > ROTATE BY > ELEMENT". If your FE model is "geometry-based", is better you rotate the geometry and then re-mesh. Or Rotate both geometry & mesh and you are done, not any additional action needded!!.
