Mirror individual features

Make a reverse copy of one or more features, the entire solid, or a new body at equal distances across a plane.

To begin, create one or more features to mirror. Create a work plane to serve as the mirror plane, or identify an existing planar face .

  1. On the ribbon, click 3D Model tab Pattern panel Mirror .
  2. In the Mirror dialog box, click Mirror Individual Features.
  3. Click Features, and then, in the graphics window or the browser, select one or more features.
  4. Click Mirror Plane, and then select a work plane or planar face.
  5. In a multibody part, select Solid, and then choose the solid body to receive the mirror feature.
  6. To choose an optional creation method, click More:
    • Optimized Create mirrored occurrences that are direct copies of the original features.
    • Identical Create identical mirrored features, regardless of termination. Calculates faster than the Adjust method.
    • Adjust Terminate features on model planes. If it encounters a planar face, the mirrored feature terminates, and can result in a feature with a size and shape different from the original.
