Mirror Tools

The Mirror tools flip selected objects to a new orientation — either in place, or as a mirrored copy that leaves the original untouched.

Watch tutorial: How to Mirror Objects

Basic Usage

1. Select the object or objects to mirror.
2. Mirror them horizontally or vertically using the shortcuts below, or open the Mirror form for more options.
3. To keep the original in place, create a mirrored copy rather than mirroring the selection itself.

Shortcuts

• H — mirror horizontally
• CTRL+H — create a horizontal mirrored copy
• Shift+H — mirror horizontally about the material centre
• V — mirror vertically
• CTRL+V — create a vertical mirrored copy
• Shift+V — mirror vertically about the material centre

Use Rotated Bounds

When a single rotated object is selected, Use Rotated Bounds flips it about its own rotated bounding box rather than the standard upright one. Objects with no rotation are unaffected.
