I was given a 2008 version of Home Designer, version 8.4.0 which I just recently installed. I have drawn up a house plan, which, at the moment consists of the rooms of a house and now have decided that I want to mirror or reverse the floor plan. Under TOOLS there is a feature to REVERSE PLAN however it does it about the vertical axis and I want to mirror it about the horizontal axis. I could use the vertical axis feature if I could then rotate it CCW 90 deg but don't see this feature also. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks

Looking up "Half-Wall" in the tutorial says to use Build-Wall-Straight Railing. I got it good enough to be representative.
So I have a question regarding stairs. I have the first floor pretty well laid out. I have a basement that is completely open at the moment. I want to create a stairway with a landing. The construction of a stairway says you need to start from the lower floor to the upper floor. I have a location for a stairway entrance on the first floor, however, I have no reference point on the basement from which to start so that it connects where I want it on the first floor.

Okay, that worked nicely as far as seeing an overlay of the first floor onto the basement plan. However, I am having trouble creating the stairs as I would like. I want the stairs to enter the first floor in the space I created for them. It is show between the half bath and the kitchen storage. It looks like an open space with walls but I intended it to be the stairwell. So when I start drawing the stairs in the basement view I start below the kitchen storage area and draw the first set from right to left. Then I draw the next set perpendicular to these between what I intended to be the stairwell exiting on the first floor. I then create the landing and click "make reach" to break through the first floor. When I look at it in camera view nothing shows. Additionally, I would like the majority of the stairs to go from the first floor to the landing, then fewer stairs to the basement floor. I have tried multiple times and can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Attached is the plan.
