Mirror

Creates a mirror-image copy of objects.

Steps:

  1. Select the objects.

  2. Pick the start of the mirror plane.

  3. Pick the end of the mirror plane.

    As you move the cursor, Rhino previews the location for the mirrored objects.

    The two end points specify a mirror plane perpendicular to the construction plane.

    Note: Use object snaps to accurately place the mirror plane, especially if you want to Join a surface and its mirrored copy.

Symmetry

Mirrors curves and surfaces, makes the mirrored half tangent to the original, and then when the original object is edited, the mirrored half updates to match the original.

Steps:

  1. Select a curve or surface.

  2. Pick the start of the symmetry plane.

    This is similar to the Mirror command.

  3. Pick the end of the symmetry plane.
