Works with Bricscad (Windows) Classic, Pro and Platinum, Bricscad (Linux) Classic and Pro

Mirrors entities about a mirror plane in 3D space.

Accessing the Command

command bar: mirror3d

alias: 3dmirror

menu bar: Modify | 3D Mirror

toolbar: Modify |

: mirror3d

Prompts you in the command bar:

Select entities: (Choose one or more entities.)

Entities in set: 1

Select entities: (Choose more entities, or press Enter to continue.)

Define mirror plane by: Entity/last/View/Zaxis/XY/YZ/ZX/<3points>: (Enter an option.)

Delete the original entities? <N> (Type Y or N.)

Command Options

Option	Description
Select entities	Chooses one or more entities to mirror.
Entity	Defines the mirror plane by extrusion direction; prompts you: Pick an entity that has an extrusion direction - select entities with a thickness. This option does not work with flat entities or 3D solids. To give an entity an extrusion, use the Properties command's Thickness option.
Last	Reuses the last mirror plane; does not prompt you.
View	Defines the mirror plane as the current view plane; prompts you: Point on view plane <0,0,0> - specify the x,y,z coordinates of the view plane.
Zaxis	Defines the mirror plane by the z axis and a point on the view plane; prompts you: Point on view plane - defines the view plane by a point. Point on the z-axis (normal) of the plane - specify the height of the view plane.
XY	Specifies the mirror plane as the x,y plane; prompts you: Point on XY plane <0,0,0> - specify the location of the plane through x,y,z coordinates.
YZ	Specifies the mirror plane as the y,z plane; prompts you: Point on YX plane <0,0,0> - specify the location of the plane through x,y,z coordinates.
ZX	Specifies the mirror plane as the z,x plane; prompts you: Point on ZX plane <0,0,0> - specify the location of the plane through x,y,z coordinates.
3points	Defines the mirror plane by three points; prompts you: Second point on plane - specifies the second point; the first point is specified by the 3points prompt. Third point on plane - specifies the third point. Three points define a 2D plane in space.
Delete the original entities?	Determines whether the original entities are erased: Y - erases the original entities, leaving only the mirrored ones. N - does not erase the original entities, leaving all in place.
