I've got a pretty unique situation here. We are designing townhomes right now, and we have two that are essentially mirrored versions of each other. We finished one to 100% drafting perfection and decided to attempt to save DAYS (if not weeks) of drawing time by mirroring the entire project (model, annotations, dimensions, everything) and shift the model around a bit after to fit the grading of the site. We successfully mirrored the entire project by using the grid line that you see in the centre of the screen capture.

What i've ran into is trying to delete the annotations of the model that we copied from. What's going on is that the walls and floors and stuff that are on our new project (right part of screen capture) that we copied from the old project (the annotations on left of screen capture) , are still associated to the levels that i want to delete (the levels on the left of screen capture, attached). When i try to delete the levels from the old project, it takes with it all of the associated wall/floors/roofs (basically everything) and deltes those. Is there a way to delete these levels without having this happen?

Is it too late to use the better process?

Since about 2010, the "mirror project" tool has been available in Revit.  It mirrors the whole project, not just model elements and it works.

Better process being what? this way we can keep all the annotations, all the modelling without needing to start from scratch, etc. The levels that are still in the model are definitely annoying, but if they can't be dealt with, it's still worth it based on the amount of time we are saving on the project

I guess i didn't quite read all of your response. Where is this "mirror project command"?

Manage tab / position pulldown.  That should fix all your problems.

WOW. You just saved my bacon! Worked flawlessly, and there's no junk to deal with now. Thanks very much!

here's another question. Now that i've got it mirrored, I need to adjust the entire one half of the project DOWN, as the site drops more on this unit than the one i mirrored off of. Is there a way to do this so that it changes the elevations of the levels, but keep walls and floor and annotations intact?
