Hi,
im again, with noob question^^. Is it possible to just mirror the object on the same place? What i mean is mirror but not using object pivot orientation.
I was trying to create a composite tool, but i dont get the "true"pivot orientation aligned to world.
See screenshot (1,2). Just mirror this "P" on the same place.
Thanks in advance

If done manually, Change manipulator: Position selection/Orientation World and use "Flip XYZ"
It can be done with a composite tool, but with lack of any dedicated flip/mirror tools for composite, there needs to be a workaround and a need to either have a fixed world axis used, or 3 tools created.
I have created an example composite tool (attached at bottom), it will mirror the selection along the world X axis (local YZ plane)
In Nvil, top menu:- Composite tools >> Import Composite tools

Yes that is really helpful. Thanks a lot Steve!
Now i realized( if im looking at composite tool components) that is much complex to create composite tools that i was thinking at the beginning.
I mean for first i need to learn all the tools^^ before i can do similar great "helpers" like you..

I have made request for new tool (P_Flip) that would make it a lot easier to create composite tool.

Hi Woolfy,
Just to let you know.
In the latest test build (Sep-5), IStonia added "P_Flip", so you can now easily set up your own "mirror in place" tools.(no need for my workaround)
