Hi,

I am using a PUMP and currently showing an animation when the PUMP is active. The animation is working fine, but right now it rotates in a **clockwise** direction.

However, I need the animation to rotate in the **anti-clockwise** direction instead.

Is there a way to change the direction of the animation? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  
Note: just want to change inside fan direction not the whole pump.  
Thank you in advance!

Instead of using `orientation : left`, leave it at `right`..

1. Scale the pump by (-1, ). That will mirror the pump, the vanes, the label and the value horizontally.
2. Mirror the value back by scaling it by (-1, 1).
3. Mirror the label back by scaling it by (-1, 1).

Everything should look right, the blades will curve the right direction (which they don't when you change orientation).

Your infeed pipe connection should probably align with the centre of the pump rather than the outlet to reflect reality.
