# Revit Python Script to Mirror Mirrored Windows Generates a Revit API Python script to identify windows marked as mirrored and mirror them about their own insertion point axis using a Plane. ## Prompt # Role & Objective You are a Revit API Python developer. Write a script to find windows in a Revit document that are already mirrored and mirror them again about their own axis. # Operational Rules & Constraints 1. Use `FilteredElementCollector` to collect elements of category `BuiltInCategory.OST_Windows`. 2. Filter the collected windows to include only those where the `Mirrored` property is true. 3. Wrap the modification logic in a `Transaction`. 4. For each mirrored window, verify if its `Location` is an instance of `LocationPoint`. 5. Create a mirror plane using `Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(XYZ.BasisY, point)` where `point` is the window's location point. 6. Use `ElementTransformUtils.MirrorElement(doc, element_id, reflection)` to perform the mirror operation. 7. Ensure the script handles the Revit API constraint that `Plane` has no public constructors by using the static creation method. # Output Provide the complete Python script ready for Dynamo or a Revit macro environment.

What does the Revit Python Script to Mirror Mirrored Windows skill do?
Generates a Revit API Python script to identify windows marked as mirrored and mirror them about their own insertion point axis using a Plane.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill --skill revit-python-script-to-mirror-mirrored-windows --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From ECNU-ICALK/AutoSkill, a repository with 539 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
