I completed a plan in v2022.  My clients now want the house mirrored on their property.  When using either the reverse or mirror commands, the plans seem to mirror fine, but the sections and elevations don't.   I've saved the sections as softplan files, and some of the information mirrors, but the foundation walls, for example remain in the old position.

Anyone else have issues with certain drawings not mirroring correctly? Any ideas on fixes?

I run into this all the time. Use REVERSE and make sure your selection window is large enough to include any roof, foundation, area, or site mode elements otherwise they won't be reversed. I've never had problems with sections or elevations, but text string arrows will need to be redone as they attach to the wrong side.

Once they are generated as Softplan drawings, they are no longer tied to the model, so will not reverse/mirror with the plans.
