    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.
