Rolf Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 HI guys, Can someone help me with that. i'm to work on a complex project. but that project is symmetrical. I don't want to work on those two symmetrical part because of its complexity. how do I do that? because i tried with instance but the whole project goes on one single layer. Thanks in advance, Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) You could work on one half up to the central axis and when you have completed that work mirror a duplicate on the Design Layer to get the other half. Alternatively you can make a Sheet Layer Viewport of the one half and then mirror a duplicate of the Viewport onto that Sheet Layer. The only difficulty with this method would be if the central axis is central to a wall or door or window. Edited March 23, 2014 by mike m oz Quote Link to comment
Rolf Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Than you very much, i thought of doing so. both ideas are good. Ill use both the first one for my perspective and the second one for my plan views (orthogonal views). Thank A lot, Quote Link to comment
jpoq Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 The second method benefit is that all changes to one half of the project reverts to the other half automatically. Here we did some terrace houses using that strategy and it worked well. Cheers Juan Quote Link to comment
bcd Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Create a new dedicated layer called Mirror Create a Design Layer Viewport of your model on this layer Mirror it To have control of various class/layer visiblities you can set up multiple Mirror layers Quote Link to comment
