How to flip an object ?

0

I’m searching for a tool to flip a building or object, to finish an identical row of buildings, they’re build mirror like side by side in a row. There’s as far as I know no description in the Wiki.

I only know such functionality from JOSM.

In JOSM you can mirror an object on the vertical axis by selecting it and pressing Shift-M on the keyboard or by choosing Mirror from the tools menu. Mirroring at the horizontal axis doesn't seem to be possible without an additional plugin. But the utils2 plugin allows you to specify two nodes as a symmetry axis and mirrors the selected ways on this axis by pressing Alt+Shift+S on the keyboard or by choosing Symmetry from the More Tools menu.

Thanks. I expect to find even more 'tools' I stumbled over a degree attached to a way, triggered by a key.
