Mirroring 3D sketches about a plane?

  • Follow


Hello,

As the title suggests.  I want to know the best way to mirror 3D
sketches about a plane?  It is in reference to creating mirrored guide
curves about a plane of syemtery for a loft of a symetrical part.

Cheers

Bullman

As Paul says so colorfully, no, you can't do that directly.

Another workaround that's possibly less messy is to constrain the 
profiles symmetrically.  So you have a centerline constrained to the 
plane of symmetry and constrain one side of the profile spline to the 
side of the GC you can create, and give the control points on the other 
side of the spline symmetrical across the CL.

Good luck,

Matt
