Hello,

I have a revit linked model that is a typical unit and linked into a main model. I have to duplicate revit linked model in the main model by mirroring it. Once I do that the electrical switches are also getting mirrored and appear in the main model in the wrong direction, see attached. Is there any way I can make it appear correctly? Thank you in advance.

You have mirrored a symbol and that is what will happen.  Revit is doing exactly what you have asked it to do.

I tried the process you are using a long time ago and found that is was not a good process.

Thank you, I will have to create a group and place individually to look correct. Wish there was a way to overide the mirror command style. Thank you.

You get a thumbs up from me.....That is what I found was the best process.  Remember, all groups on one level can all be copied to multiple levels as one big copy.  Then if need be, a few gorups that have to be changed on other levels can be replaced.
