    Default flip with visibility control

    Hey there. I am new to making dynamic blocks. I am trying to make a block of a cabinet that has different geometry on the right and left sides. Is there a way to flip and change the visibility in one action? I am using ADT2007. I have attached the block. If you flip it you will see what I need to hide.

    Is anyone out there that can answer this? I really need to get an answer to this soon. I only have 9 days left to finish making my blocks and this is a critical question.

    Why not just create a Visibility that is the Flipped state?

    Okay! The block works like I wanted. Thank you for the help. I see I was missing the lookup parameter. I will play around with my original block to see if I can duplicate yours.

    One question: Why are there 2 lookup actions?

    If you want to get into that Double Lookup this is how you create the Parameter Set:

    -Create Dbl Lookup Set"
    Open the Block Properties Palette,
    Go to the Parameter Sets tab,
    Right click the Lookup Set icon,
    Copy / Paste then Rename (Lookup Set Double; or whatever),
    Right click this new Parameter set,
    Properties, Actions (at the bottom), Click the bar, Click the … ,
    Add Action object Lookup,
    Ok, Ok, drag and drop as needed.
    This can be done with any Parameter/Action you want.
