Mirroring Objects

Mirroring — Create mirrored copies for symmetry

Many objects are symmetrical - mirroring creates the other half.

Manual Mirror

To mirror an object across an axis:

Duplicate the object
Scale to -1 on the mirror axis

Example - Mirror across X axis:

Original at X = 2
Duplicate, set Scale X = -1
Move to X = -2

Mirror Axis Reference

Mirror Across	Scale Value
X axis	Scale X = -1
Y axis	Scale Y = -1
Z axis	Scale Z = -1

Symmetrical Objects

For naturally symmetrical things:

Human figure: Mirror across X

Cars: Mirror across X

Butterfly wings: Mirror across X or Z

Mirror Workflow

1. Create right side
2. Position at positive X
3. Duplicate
4. Scale X to -1
5. Position at negative X (same distance)

Common Uses

Table legs (corners)
Chair arms
Building facades
Character limbs

Important Note

Mirrored objects may need rotation adjustment depending on design. Always check the result!
