    Hi @yogeshchandra

     

    When you are selecting the elements, make sure you 'duplicate' them before reflecting. 

     

    You can get into the extended menu by double-clicking on the entity selector.

    Hi @yogeshchandra

     

    I don't think you can reflect loads and BCs along with elements.
