    Not quite sure how I did it but I've drawn my house on Sketch up upside down.
    any suggestions on how to get it right side up without redrawing the whole house?

    that asked.
    my 3D text shows upside down but my regular text shows correctly!?
    I've attached my drawing for your perusal.
    notice the front door. regular text then in front of the door 3D text.

      If is all in a component just scale it through the center line to -1

        If you scale the house by -1 you'll end up with a mirrored model of your house.

        Use [Ctrl] and [A] to select all and then rotate the entire selection 180 degrees about the green axis.
        Your house model will stay "un-mirrored", yet blue axis will point up again as should.

        Suggestion: Save a (first) scene with a perspective overview. At some point you somehow rotated your model. This scene will instantly "tell" you if things got mixed up again.

          It might help with your orientation and sense of scale if you use one of the templates that have ground, sky and a person in it.
