To Flip image orientation ’ I tried the move/rotate selection and tt seemed t give me the right option gut it then gave me a message about a constraint or something stopping the action. So any ideas how to find out which constraint is the problem. I don’t understand why the offending item is not highlighted for attention by the software! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/shapr3d/original/2X/b/b02d34e44321fc4a7c726f8590206da2d9f8d046.jpeg) I just want to makethe top point to the bottom and the bottom point t the top r I don’t want to do this manually with finger because then I can’t use the-cross- sectiontool which only appears to work in front view. ---

Select the elements and use the mirror tool ---
