Layers to be Mirrored in a Wall Panel Drawing

Framer

You can mirror the entire building with the Modeling | Tools Mirror Everything function. If you have already created wall panel drawings, they will be recreated during the mirroring.

You can separately define the layers whose lines, texts and macros will be mirrored together with the wall panel drawing. Using this function requires that the wall panel settings be edited. Editing the settings is the system administrator’s task.

  1. Select System | Structural Libraries | Wall Automatic Execution.
  2. Find the keyword PANELREVINCLLAY.
  3. In the Data field, enter the numbers of the layers on which the lines, texts and macros you wish to mirror in the wall panel drawing, together with the building, are located. Use a comma as the separator. For example:
    • 164, 165 - Electrical symbols
    • 166, 167 - Heating, plumbing and ventilation symbols
  4. Confirm by clicking OK.

Note:
  • This function is not suited to macros which are copied on layer -1 in the wall panel drawing (e.g. doors, windows, furnishings). You can mirror such macros by adding the keyword accessories_level into the WALLS keyword group. You can define the layer to which the macros will be moved during mirroring, with this keyword. For example

    accessories_level= 254

  • You can deactivate this feature by selecting 0 in the Exec list.
  • The program will save the changes made in a user-specific database. If the database is not found in the Custom folder, it is first copied from the System folder. Confirm the copying by clicking Yes in the message box.
  • Save the building after mirroring to make sure that the floor plan and the wall panel drawings match each other.
  • System tab is only available if you are a system administrator.
