4 | Transforming objects How do I? > Move, rotate, or scale components with reflection This face mirrors the movement. Face selected for movement Moving faces with reflection: moving the selected face also moves the corresponding face along the reflection axis. To move, rotate, or scale components on an object using the Reflection setting 1 In the scene view, select the components you want to move, rotate or scale on one half of the surface mesh. 2 Select the appropriate transformation tool by doing either of the following: • Double-click the desired transformation tool icon on the Toolbar. • Select Modify > Transformation Tools > Move/Rotate/Scale Tool > ˆ. The tool settings for that transformation tool appear. 3 In the Tool Settings Editor, turn the Reflection setting on. The corresponding component(s) across the reflection axis is highlighted in white. 4 When you subsequently move, rotate, or scale the selected component(s), the corresponding highlighted component(s) are also transformed on the opposite side of the reflection axis. 5 With the other reflection settings you can specify: • whether the Center of reflection is at the origin or based on the bounding box of the object. • set the Tolerance for the reflection (that is, how closely the selected component and the component across the reflection axis have to mirror each other in order for mirroring movement to occur). • the Reflection axis which the reflection occurs across. The manipulator indicates the axis along which the reflection takes place: Reflection axis X Reflection axis Y Reflection axis Z Basics 65
