Understanding and applying features mirroring
Sometimes, we need to create a feature or a set of features and then try to duplicate them on the other side of the model. We can accomplish this by mirroring the features. In this section, we will discuss what mirroring is from a feature perspective. We will also learn how to use this feature to mirror other features.
What is mirroring for features?
Mirroring features works the same way as mirroring the entities of a sketch. It enables us to duplicate a feature or a set of features by reflecting them on a plane.
The following diagram highlights the effect of mirroring features. The model on the left highlights a model with a set of features, while the model on the right highlights the model after mirroring selected features:
Now that we know what is meant by mirroring features, we can start learning how to apply the feature to 3D model creation.
