To create a mirrored copy of a single feature, number of features or group simply make your selection in the model tree, select the mirror tool and then select the plane about which the features are to be mirrored.

Issues may occur if you mirror features in isolation – see Dependent or Independent below.

 

Product Symmetry

You can also mirror the entire model tree by;

  • select the model name at the top of the model tree
  • select the mirror function
  • select the symmetry plane

For any symmetrical product this should be your default choice, it’s more robust than mirroring a selection of features as it mirrors all the elements needed to create the mirror geometry.

 

 

 

Dependent or Independent 

 

You will notice that two different icons (as above) are used in the model tree when you mirror features.  Dashboard > Options > Copy as Dependent will be ticked by default if it is possible to create an associative mirrored feature – one which will update to follow the original.  If you cannot create a Dependent copy then try grouping the feature with its construction geometry and mirroring the group.
