[Bldg-sim] How to mirror a building in eQUEST

Hello Sir:
This is a sticky wicket, as they say in the Commonwealth
The only thing you need to reproduce is your Envelope. All other schedules and window, wall and roof types remain the same.
When you say "miiro image", are you trying to have both buildings in the same model, or are they to be separate models.
With all the confusion, it is probably better to redo all the polygons from scratch, using your 1st building as a template. So a six sided L-shaped figure of 


 

becomes:


If you need them in the same model, you will need to add an offset to the x axis (assuming the y axis remains the same).
If your windows will look the same, base and mirror image, you can copy these over in the Detail Edit mode, call them new names, and place of the appropriate walls. If they are truly mirror images, I would still copy them over, rename, place on the appropriate wall, then begin transposing them to the mirror image positions.
I do not believe this approach will take you very long, as you are not resizing windows, only transposing their positions.
Hope it goes well for you.
