mirror((object1,object2,...),line,(newobject1,newobject2))

mirror
Mirrors objects against a reference line.

Function parameters


  • list of objects in brackets, separated by comma
  • reference line
  • (optional) list of new objects in brackets, separated by comma OR name suffix for new objects in double or single quotation marks

    This operator mirrors the named objects against a reference line. This means that the new objects will have mirrored shape, and will be at the same distance from the reference line as the original objects. Please mind the point sequence and angles after applying the operator.

    Usage


    If you just want mirrored objects and don't need to keep the original ones, leave the third parameter blank, e.g.: mirror((c_p1_p2),l1)


    If you would like to keep both the original and the mirrored objects, you have two options:

    1) Name all new objects one by one, in the same order as the original objects, e.g.:

    mirror((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),l1,(p3,p4,newcurve))



    2) Create a suffix for new objects that will be automatically added to the names of existing objects, e.g.:

    mirror((p1,p2,c_p1_p2),l1,"n")
