Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about the mirror tool in the comments below! (Or if you know how to mirror features into other bodies ;p)
Thanks for such excellent videos...u probably know this already, the 2 bodies need to be “combined” for the 2 top feature holes to be mirrored to the lower portion (single body)...or “join” select when u mirrored from the base rather than “new bodies”
Very powerful tools for drawing and modeling. The one thing that can't be taught and only comes from experience (or formal training - as in learning the way your instructor teaches you) is which technique is better given the circumstance. I have been burned many times when needing to go back and make a simple changes that when completed, the impact everything else after the timeline to the point of almost screwing the entire drawing up creating a lot more work to "patch" those new issues. When to draw in mirrored features during the drawing stage or solid model stage is an art form.
Very good tutorial! Thank you! By the way, by pressing and holding the mouse button you could choose any object under your mouse cursor without hiding everything 8:10.
for info lfeature it is for the timeline at the bottom and instead of hiding your body to select your axis for the mirror just let press on the mouse and you have all that is below
I think your vids are very intuitive to your audience and i for one appreciate what you're doing...i had a question though what's the difference between using copy and paste and mirror and which one would you recommend?
Is there anyway to mirror an existing body? I have a completed object, but a made a mistake, and need a direct mirror, to move a cavity to the other side. It won't let me select my object, using the symmetry tool
When trying to mirror an image formed using sketch, the image has to be 'open' on the mirror axis. If the image is closed, you have to de-select the line that lies on the mirror axis.
Hi there! I noticed that when mirroring bodies, they are not linked. I'm having trouble figuring out how to link a mirrored component. How would I do this? Thanks in advance!
Coming from Solidworks. Trying to take advantage of this TopDown approach but I am frustrated with Mirroring components of a steel frame. I create a Leg component and mirror that about ZY plane. I get a new component Legs(Mirror). Here is where the frustration is. I want that new mirrored part to mirror the location of the original part. IT DOES NOT. That new part I can drag off anywhere I want. Move it around in the X, Y, or Z. It is more of a copy with an initial placement and unconstrained than it is a mirrored component in a sub assy. What gives!!!!
this is when you use the construction plane funtion to define a plane a specific distance from the origin planes. the function is available any time you are in the sketch mode. So, if you need to mirror a body, go to one of the previous sketches that is in the appropriate orientaton and add the construction plane you desire.
No - I took 9 minutes to take a concept and break it down so that new users of the program could actually learn the way that it works. You know...like a tutorial...for people to learn from

I still face this problem where the mirrored feature doesn't work after clicking ok. Do you have a solution yet after you had made this video?
Pro trick: watch series at Flixzone. I've been using it for watching all kinds of movies lately.
@Alberto Messiah yea, have been using Flixzone for months myself :D
@Alberto Messiah Yea, I've been watching on flixzone for years myself :D
maybe you can only mirror if it is the same body so combine the bodies before mirror to the lower side?

Mirroring bodies is super helpful for woodworking, thank you for your content, you have taught me so much throughout your videos.

Thank you so much! I was having trouble mirroring a sketch for my video and this saved me!
Thank you so much. Mirror features worked for me after I hid the body and selected the correct Mirror Plane.
Very good tutorial! Thank you!

Best tutorials out there! Thank you!
Thanks for the tutorial. I found it well explained and taught me what I needed to know.
Nice video man! It saved me. Greetings from Argentina!
Exactly what I needed. And it’s gonna save so much time.
Thanks! Worked perfectly 👌
You're welcome!
Well done - great info, as usual.
thank you I was able to get the mirror feature to work!!!
Your tutorial are fantastic and helping me heaps! Thanks!
Hello. Thanks for your video in no time learned everything I needed right now. Compliments
thank you sir, this helped me a lot and you save me a ton of time
Great. Exactly what I needed. Thanks.
Excellent classes
Thanks Justin! This video is very useful!
Thank you!

Hi Justin, If you combine those two mirrored bodies then that mirror futures command for those holes will work.
Interesting - will give that a try - thanks! :)
Thank you
Thanks for the amazing vid!!! :))))))))
Tx Justin, very VERY helpfull. I have enough to study as is, but is there a comprehensive list of all your video's?
Awesome man
I think your vids are very intuitive to your audience and i for one appreciate what you're doing...i had a question though what's the difference between using copy and paste and mirror and which one would you recommend?

Im trying to mirror embossed text from one side to another but it shows up reversed on the side I'm mirroring to.

mind elaborating on this?

hi, how do you mirror a circle form the center of another circle? for example a hinge hole and the 2 associated screw holes? Thanks
next search for me ,,for the problem you say in vid.. Merge body,s (got it) BIG BUTTON ON TOP hahaha 😁 thanks for the help.. thmbs up

TYSM!!
8:40 Just move it across the timeline!
I been trying to mirror an object that is a few inches away, not next to each other like your sample, is the process the same?
Should be - you need a shape and an object to mirror across
this is when you use the construction plane funtion to define a plane a specific distance from the origin planes. the function is available any time you are in the sketch mode. So, if you need to mirror a body, go to one of the previous sketches that is in the appropriate orientaton and add the construction plane you desire.
can the bodies be merge using mirror features? I want to get rid of the line and become 1 bodies
just select join versus new body in the mirror popup
@@adammortensen8861 4 years ago there is no popup, that features need to click it manually. how far haave we come
10 minutes for what?
This guy looks like mike rowe's nerdy brother.
outdated. Mirroring options don'nt look like that.
Do you go around to all videos more than a year old leaving notes that they're outdated?
You spoke about being as efficient as possible, yet you took 9mins to demonstrate what should have been 3mins.
No - I took 9 minutes to take a concept and break it down so that new users of the program could actually learn the way that it works. You know...like a tutorial...for people to learn from
For me, a lot of tutorials take too long, but it is all needed information for me to understand it. So I just watch it 1.5x the replay speed.
way to look the gift horse in the mouth.
Thank you!
