"Mirror" is used to create mirrored objects, like a right hand from a left hand. The tool brings up a mirror in the viewer window(s), close to the object, and the mirrored object appears behind the mirror.
Object Name
You can give a meaningful name to the mirror object using the "Object Name" text field, and pressing "Ok"..
Mirror position
By choosing from the set of toggle buttons, you can set the initial mirror position to be to the left, right, top, bottom, front or back
of the original object.
Mirror Movement
You can move the mirror by moving the cursor to the base of the arrow until a green box appears. Then move the mirror while keeping the left mouse button pressed. You can rotate the mirror by moving the cursor to the head of the arrow until a green box appears, and moving it with the left mouse button.
If you have the Transform tool up (see "Attribute - Transform"), you can set accurate location and rotation values for the mirror..
Hint: Use a combination of views to make your task easy. Use a 2D view (either change the viewer type of the main viewer to a 2D view, or bring up a new 2D view by choosing "Options - New Viewer ".
Interactive
If "Interactive" is turned on, the mirror object changes instantly with every movement of the mirror. If the toggle is turned off, you can position and rotate the mirror anyway you want, and then choose "Mirror" to update the operation.
Close
This closes the "Mirror" tool. Since the tool does not allow you to perform other operations in the scene, you need to close the tool before you move on.
