Hello,

I recently download Inkscape.

During making curved lipid bilayer

In the final step, when I flip the copied lipid layer, the copied lipid layer automatically returns to the original.

so I couldn't flip the lipid layer.

I've attached the file, Anyone please explain why in this situation filp is not possible?

I learn how to flip the object but when I use flip in case of path things and path effects, I couldn't flip.

Thank you in advance.

* I'm using the newest version of Inkscape and Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1

If that´s what you´re after you need to Path->Reverse the curve and flip the pattern vertically (V):

@Polygon 

Thank you ! it works.

I really appreciate it.

May I ask one more question?

after the reverse I'd like to do break apart each lipid molecules. but also Break apart does not work for me...

First go to Path->Object to Path - then Path->Break Apart will work. But it will break the pattern in 2 too. There´s another issue perhaps you might want to address; the overlapping at circle and the 2 strokes isn´t filled with color - you need to select 1 node from the circle and go Path->Reverse. When all shall have the same style you can select strokes and circle and go Path->Combine in first place; Breaking apart will then respects the pattern as a whole.

Thank you Sir.

You save me. 

Have a good day.
