Dynamo script – Flip Workplane Flip Workplane is a Dynamo script that allows you to flip the workplane of selected elements.
For lots of MEP equipment hosted on ceilings or reference planes, it is not possible to flip their side or workplane by batch. Space bar, or symmetry, nothing works.
In order to download script, follow the download link above. Then right-click on “BIM1_FlipWorkplane.dyn” – “Save link as…”.
Workflow:
- Select element that is on the workset you want to activate.
- Run the script.
- (If you want to re-run the script from Dynamo, you will have to set the boolean to false or true, unless you are running the script from Dynamo player or Dyno).
