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

Use

FilteredElementCollector

to collect elements of category

BuiltInCategory.OST_Windows

Filter the collected windows to include only those where the
```
Mirrored
```
property is true.
Wrap the modification logic in a
```
Transaction
```
.
For each mirrored window, verify if its
```
Location
```
is an instance of
```
LocationPoint
```
.
Create a mirror plane using
```
Plane.CreateByNormalAndOrigin(XYZ.BasisY, point)
```
where
```
point
```
is the window's location point.

Use

ElementTransformUtils.MirrorElement(doc, element_id, reflection)

to perform the mirror operation.

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.
