Notes
  • Mirror:
    • A single object - Input an object to mirror.
    • A selection of objects - Objects in the current selection will be mirrored.
  • All object types in the current project can be mirrored with the exception of alignments.
  • If a mirrored object shares vertices with another object, and the object is moved rather than copied, then the mirrored objects vertices are moved to the new location and the other object is modified accordingly.
  • If you mirror a 2 dimensional object in 3 dimensions, the default height may be used to compute a vertices z component.
