Is it possible to change the plane of reflection for Mirror Symmetry?

[Geoclasm]

It's difficult to phrase this question... when placing an object using Mirror symmetry you can see the "mirror" in the way the objects are placed respecting each other.

Is it possible to flip the "Mirror"?

Other than flipping the entire vessel (with or without the root part, I don't remember) I don't know. I'm going to wait here for an answer too.

Turn the whole craft, place object, turn the whole craft back?

Not sure I understood the premise but...

And anyway, I really don't know if the SPH (or VAB) will agree to do what you are asking it to do.

Normally the mirror is done between the port and starboard side of the craft. So you want the mirror through a different axis right? Like say top/bottom?

In that case yes, the easiest way is to turn the whole craft via the root part. You can also rotate just the part you want to have funny mirror symmetry and attach radially to that part. That works too while keeping the direction of the mirror normal in the rest of the craft.

I run into top/bottom mirror problem all the time moving subassemblies between VAB and SPH because of that stupid "pitch axis is North-South in VAB but East-West in SPH" problem.
