Synopsis

subdMirror( [string] , [caching=boolean], [constructionHistory=boolean], [name=string], [nodeState=int], [object=boolean], [xMirror=boolean], [yMirror=boolean], [zMirror=boolean])

Note: Strings representing object names and arguments must be separated by commas. This is not depicted in the synopsis.

subdMirror is undoable, queryable, and editable.

This command takes a subdivision surface, passed as the argument, and produces a subdivision surface that is a mirror. Returns the name of the subdivision surface created and optionally the DG node that does the mirroring.

Return value

string[]The subdivision surface and optionally the dependency node name

In query mode, return type is based on queried flag.
