Description

Reflected Ceiling Plans (RCP) are an important item of an architecture project. It is a plan view of a floor plan, conventionally seen from above like a normal floor plan, but that shows the ceiling instead of the floor. So that celiing plan is not just a projection of what is seen above the cut plane, it is also reflected (X and Y dimensions are inverted) so it fits on the floor plan, walls are at the same location.

Making such a RCP plan is already easily doable by:

1. Creating a Shape2DView
2. Creating a Clone of that Shape2DView
3. Setting the scaling of the clone to (-1, -1, -1)

Only there should be a more automatic system, such as a "Reflected" property for shape2DViews, that should do that for you.
