I have a bunch of walls in the wrong direction -- Exterior inside :(
Is there a way to flip the walls collectively or I have to click the arrows one by one ?
i'm prepared for the worst...

Create a new wall type that is made in reverse "inside out" and apply to walls in said bunch.

Select the walls and hit spacebar -- boom, done.

:) Yes! The space trick worked wonderfully! :)
Thanks for an extra sleeping night, Truevis.

I truly hope you didn't select them all pressing ctrl - you can rightclick an element and press 'select all instances'. It will select each wall of that type throughout the entire project.
Press space, and be done with it. Space is the default flip key for any flip-able element, from windows to generic models.

Don't forget that when Revit says "Select all instances" it really is ALL instances. That includes items that you can't see in other Views and on other floors.

But still only of that type.
Good pointer tho.
