I'm sure a lot of you already know this, I bring it up only because I see it asked every now and again, and usually I see people describing how to do this the hard way (that is, manually with + and - offsets). But it doesn't always have to be so tedious! I think the picture pretty much tells it all, if you have made one side of something symmetrical, and you need to duplicate it but in reverse (like a wing for a plane or something more sophisticated than this poser hand) Just duplicate the object or group of objects, and flip it! Voila, mirror image of your model. It's great for things like metaball arms and such too. May it speed your modeling.

thanks for posting this!! I've had Bryce for years and always wondered why it never had a mirror function. And it actually does...

Oh gosh! Thanks for posting this. I was wondering how to get a symmertical image. This has saved me a headache!!

Yet another way is just changing the size sign (+ -> -) in Object attributes.

Ah, Pontigary, indeed. In fact, that is exactly what this trick does. But there are some people that hadn't thought to do that. (I hadn't thought to do that until I found this flip trick, and saw the results, and that was years, I'm embarrassed to say!)

The choice depends on user's preferences - some of us are keyboard addicts and prefer to work with numbers, the others rely on their eyes mainly (they like mouse dragging tecgnique).
