Mirroring in LDPE - Willy Tschager - 2017-11-20

I know that for example scaling on Y for -1 mirrors this:

but how do I mirror AND compensate the -24 LDU on the y axis on the same time to get a mirror of the selection right above the parent parts?

Terse answer: place the manipulator in the plane where you want mirroring to occur and use local coordinates. Tell me if you need me to switch to verbose mode Wink

Local coordinates didn't work but global did. Thanks.

Kind of weird, I almost always work in local mode (and it works for me...).
