Mirroring: Mirror structure on a plane

This command mirrors parts of a structure on a symmetry plane.

Following dialog shows the available options:

Plane

x =: The mirror plane is parallel to the (y, z) coordinate plane of the global coordinate system. X-coordinate of the plane is to be given within input field.

y = : The plane is parallel to the (x, z) coordinate plane of the global coordinate system. Y-coordinate of the plane is to be given within input field.

z = : The plane is parallel to the (x, y) coordinate plane of the global coordinate system. Z-coordinate of the plane is to be given within input field.

3 Nodes: With this option checked, 3 nodes defining the symmetry plane have to be given or graphically selected after pressing button „Graphically“.

Group IDs

Form source element: New elements get same ID as originating elements

Increment: New elements get IDs based on originating elements incremented by this value

New: New elements get the given group ID

Element selection

Select elements to be mirrored. Elements of type 105 or 400 cannot be mirrored.

Undo

Clicking this button, the latest generated nodes and elements are deleted.
