Good to know

  • Pick a face in the tray to mirror about a flat face of the model instead of an origin plane; the mirror then follows that face through later edits.
  • Construction planes are offered in the tray's list too, when the model has any.

Use it for anything that comes in equal steps: posts, shelves, holes in a plate. ModelingMove (and copy) a bodyMove slides the selected bodies from one point to another, by a pointer gesture or an exact typed distance. Switch on Copy and it leaves the original where it was and places a copy instead.
