* By the way, combining edge loop with component selection [M] and active magnet gives an interesting effect: a line of edges will mimic the shape of their neighbor edges as closer the selected edges comes to the neighbors. | * By the way, combining edge loop with component selection [M] and active magnet gives an interesting effect: a line of edges will mimic the shape of their neighbor edges as closer the selected edges comes to the neighbors. | ||

'''symmetry in modeling:''' | |||
You could make A) only one half of an object or B) selected polygons and then mirror and merge the parts. | |||
* A) select object, [Alt] + [RClick] object, Symmetrize Polygons | |||
* B) select polygons, [RClick] one of them, Symmetrize Polygons | |||
Or you start with a half object and create a mirrored clone. You can then work on the original mesh. (In Schematics the cloned mesh will have a red "Cl" and a trapezoid shape as symbol.) | |||
* select object then goto Edit > Duplicate/Instantiate > Clone Single | |||
* scale X or one of the other axes to -1 | |||
* make any modification on the original mesh, the clone will adept them | |||
* eventually merge cloned and original mesh, freeze them to make changes final | |||
