For some applications, such as creating symmetrical designs it can be quicker to use the plane buttons.
Note: The workplane defines the origin of the mirror plane. The example uses a workplane on the object. Defining a different workplane will give different results.
To mirror an object using a plane button to define the mirror plane:
- Select the object to mirror.
- Click Edit tab > Transform panel > Mirror.
- Select one of the plane buttons
on the
Mirror toolbar to mirror the objects on the opposite side of your chosen plane.
A preview of the mirrored object is displayed, together with the mirror plane.
