Hi everyone, I've recently built a complex 3d model. Because the model is highly symmetrical, the mirroring operation can build the model faster. There doesn't seem to be a direct mirroring method, it can only be achieved by rotation and movement.

But for 3D models, rotation and movement operations will change the relative coordinates, making it difficult to achieve accurate modeling. Is there any other way?

Here's my problem implementing mirroring with translation and rotation:

First, I drew a cuboid 1 and rotated it to get a cuboid 2. There was no problem in this process. I put cuboid 1 and cuboid 2 into 'structure group' to form s1.

In order to compare the behavior of s1 next, I copied s1 to get s2.

Take first axis : z and rotation1: 180 for the whole s2. This doesn't rotate 180 degrees around the z axis. I don't know how to solve this problem.

to allivate the current issue, you will need to place the object inside a strature group before rotating, and then rotate the group. since the rotation center is the group center, you will need to manipulate the structure center relative to the group center, and make sure the rotation works as expected.
