What is Mirror Reverse and how does it differ from Right-Reading Reverse?
A. Mirror-Reverse Floorplan: A mirror-reversed house plan drawing has been, literally, copied in reverse, resulting in the same image you would see if you held the drawing up to a mirror. Everything, including the text, is backward in relation to the original. These kinds of drawing are typically used to re-orient an original plan more advantageously on a site, either because the homeowner prefers it that way or because of limitations of the site itself. Right-Reading Reverse Floorplan: A right-reading reversed floorplan is one that is the reverse layout of the plan, BUT all text, symbols, etc. are not reversed, as in the mirror reverse option above. This type of plan option is usually available for plans that have been designed in CAD software. If you’ve picked out a plan but need to purchase it in a reversed layout, make sure the appropriate “mirror reverse” and/or “right- reading reverse” options are available for that plan.
