What is the benefit of this enhancement?
You can now use the improved Mirror command in Freestyle to mirror complete shapes using a selected datum plane. The existing functionality to mirror individual mesh faces is still available.

The shapes mirrored using the Mirror command are dependent on the original shape:

  • You can enable or disable the mirrored shape dependency that allows further refinement of the given shapes.
  • You can break the dependency by making each shape independent of one another.
  • You can connect or join mesh faces between the mirrored shapes.
  • You can delete the mirror or change the mirror plane through the Freestyle Tree.

This enhancement extends the mirror capability by allowing full shapes to be mirrored across a defined datum plane. It improves productivity and the overall user experience by making it easier to mirror specific shapes. In addition, it helps preserve symmetry that is required during the reconstruction process in Generative Design.
