mirror pieces

[jaunco325]

Is there a mod that allows me to mirror some pieces? example: that allows to make that in the airplane cabins, the kerbal leaves by the right side instead of the left.

You might be able to effect this with a simple MM patch, by setting the scale on the X axis of the model to a negative value (e.g. scale = -1,1,1).  That is traditionally how things are 'mirrored' in 3d modeling, but I cannot guarantee that KSP will handle it all properly, especially if the part in question involves animations or other complicated modules.

That would not erase the original configuration of the piece?

use the MM Patch to copy the part

+PART instead of @PART

I did not understand

so you could create a module manager patch to copy the part and possibly mirror it - that way you would have two parts - one left, one right.

I do not know if this would work, never tried.

so the beginnings of the patch would start something like this:
 

+PART[part name here]:FOR[zzzzMe]
{
	@name ^= :$:-mirror:
  	@MODEL
	{
		%scale = -1,0, 1.0, 1.0
	}
}

@name ^= :$:-mirror:

edited above to add < @name ^= :$:-mirror: > which would automatically rename the new part (needed and necessary)
