Mirroring an object creates an independent object that has a relation to the original. Objects can be mirrored individually or as a selection group.

The result of mirroring is an object group in which all objects affected by the action (both the original and their copies) are grouped together. This group can be accessed subequently, for example when mirroring.

The group result object gets the default name res_of_copy.<unique number>, if the parameter Name of object is not explicitly specified. If the original object has a name, the copy will get the name:
<name of original><name extention>.index
The default extension is "_m". The Index is always 1 because mirroring does not have a parameter <Number of copies>.

Example:
"james_m.1" is the mirrored copy of the object named "james".

Attention: Names of copies should not be changed because when creating new copies, the names of the originals are used to assign names to the copies. If you will rename "james_m.1" in the example above to "joe", "joe" would get the name "james_m.1" again when recalculating the mirror action.

Any change of the original parameters (not properties such as Z values etc.) also changes the parameters of the copy.

All parameters of the action can be changed at any time. These parameters include the following:

Special cases:
The following object types cannot be mirrored:
