Flip section error

[sjsl]

Created a building section and added two callouts for wall sections. When you flip the building section the callout ID's stay where they were before flipping and the callout moves to the opposite side. I guess you can't nest callouts in sections and flip them. Makes sense.

Sounds like a bug.

Yep I know this is a dated thread... but... It looks like the OP issue is still an issue. I stumbled on this thread while searching for a similar problem. This flip section problem also comes into play with detail lines, masking regions, etc... basically all view specific elements. While I just sent off an email to support asking for an explaination...after playing with it a bit more...I think where the problem lies is that it is very difficult for the program to know where the center of the flip should be. And when things get moved around from their original position or the size of the crop region changes... it appears that things get even more out of whack when a section is flipped. While it'd be nice if details and callouts would flip as expected, I think there would have to be an extra step in the flip section tool that allows the user to define the center line of the flip...

I had to become familiar with that issue over a year ago. When you place detail items on a section and you move the section symbol, even over it's own length, the detail items move. Haven't investigated that, I just avoided placing dtail items on a section.
