Applying a Color Scheme to a View
In plan views and section views, you can specify whether the color scheme displays in the background or
the foreground of the view. This option is a property of the view. (See Applying a Color Scheme on page
960.)
Mirroring a Project
Mirroring a project allows you to mirror (reflect the position and shape of) all elements in a project around
an axis you select (North - South, East - West, Northeast - Southwest, or Northwest - Southeast). When you
mirror a project, all model elements, views, and annotations are mirrored. Orientation of annotations is
preserved when necessary; for example text does not mirror to retain readability. See Mirroring a Project on
page 1236.
Rotate Project North
You can rotate project north for the entire project. See Rotating Project North on page 1235.

Swept Blend
Modeling complex geometry can be achieved using the Swept Blend tool. The tool allows massing or family
geometry to be defined by 2 different profiles placed along a 2D path containing an arc or a spline.
See Creating a Swept Blend on page 387.
Families Guide
Documentation for family creation has been restructured, revised, and enhanced with more detailed
conceptual information and tutorials.
