mirror mode : how to change the symmetry plane ?

[Maukse]

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a way to change the plane of symmetry used when in "mirror mode", I would like to rotate this plane by 90°, in the SPH.

Is it trivial ? Am I missing something ?

The reward for an awnser will be kool ;-)

you have to rotate the airplane itself, hit "shift" and grab any part, it'll select the whole craft, rotate it 90 degrees and you should now have the plane on the side.

You can't change the symmetry-plane, but:

Placing something symmetrically on top-botton is easy:

Rotate the ship by 90° -> place symmetric object on the ships original "top" which also creates an other symmetric object on the original "bottom".

About placing something symmetrically on the original front-back: don't know how to do something like this.

Not working :-(

Maybe a mod could be helpfull ?

Keep in mind the parts allready attached will have the old symmetry, if you're trying to attach to those it won't work. You can also switch to radial symmetry, and that in theory would act like rotating the plane.

Hit R to change symmetry to radial and you can place things top and bottom, then hit R again to switch back to mirror. Should work if I understand what you're trying to do correctly.
