Mirror

Adds a mirrored copy of a sketch or a solid to the shape.

Property Panel

Offset

Specifies the distance to offset the mirrored copy to the original. Only available if a edge or face of the shape is selected as reference.

Keep Original

If checked, the original shape will be included in the result. Otherwise, the result will only contain the mirrored copy.

Merge Faces

Only for solid type bodies.
If checked, copied faces will be merged to a single face if they are coplanar. Only available with Keep Original being selected.

Reselect Reference

Starts reselection of the mirror plane or the edge/face defining the mirror line/plane.

Remarks

If working with a sketch, the modifier will use a reference edge to define the mirror line. If working with a solid, the modifier will use a reference face to define the mirror plane.

Depending on the shape the direction of the offset may be improper. Invert the offset value to correct this.
