      I have downloaded a bathtub, but I want to use it in more than one place, and in the other place I need it to be inverted. Is there a way to do that?

        If you make it a component then copy it to the different places you need it. You can then invert it using the scale tool with a scale factor of -1 (start the scale, type -1 and press enter.)

          The easiest way is simply to right click the component then choose Flip from the context menu. Presumably you'll need to flip it along either the red or green axis.
          If the component is at an odd angle and you want to flip it along a world axis, the easiest way is to draw a single line attached to it, select that as well, then flip along the world axis rather than the component's axis.

              Hi folks.

              I just checked after drawing a component and rotating it at 45° from the red and green axes and if I flip this component along the component's red or green axis, I get the correct result. Of course the component's axis must be oriented correctly to start with. Normally, for a bathtub, the red and green shall be lying on the ground and the blue shall be pointing up.

              Just ideas.
