    Default "Flip" Control in Family Editor 2010

    Ok, I give up. Where are the "Flip Controls for adding them to a family in 2010. I opened a family (originally created in 2009, via Edit Family from within a project) and I cannot find these controls to add to this family. Any Help?

    They were left out. You will have to open another family and cut & paste to get it in.

    I don't have that issue. So far, The families that I have brought from 2009 had the flip controls available. They were most furniture, though. Which category is yours, Scott?

    I just checked a door I've been upgrading since 2008. I see the flip control tool in the Create tab. It already had Flips in it, but I was working on a window this morning and the flip controls were in the same place

    Depends on the family type. Start a new family with the Door template and you will have the "controls" tool. Start a family with the Detail Component template, and you won't.

    I thought Michael was joking... but he's right. The control tools are nowhere to be found when starting with the detail component template. Copy/paste works but.... seriously?

    Wow... confirmed missing here, as well. I started a new detail component family, and indeed there is nothing between the Detail section of the ribbon and the Dimension section. Those 2 sections are directly adjacent on my screen.

    Just found the exact same problem, no flip contols in 2010 for detail components!

    But to add to that I went to where is my command and my entire session crashed! Which has lost me 20 mins work (no option to saveas either)

    My first day on 2010 isnt going well at all!

    From memory, this was a known issue from the beta.
