Mirroring a Ztl in Z2....doesnt mirror?

[Ron Harris]

I have had this problem on other ztools of mine....I will model something like this hand in the example below and snapshot it into place and then move it over to the right arm and go into Deformations and hit mirror and it moves it like its done something but its not mirrored...its still showing as the Left hand....I have opened up old ear tools and it works fine....why wouldnt it work on these hands? I never had this trouble in 1.55b..has something changed or has something changed in the workflow I should be using to accomplish this? Thank you in advance for any input or advice on this Mirroring enigma.

... oh I think its because on the X Y Z slider you have to pick X only so it can flip it I really don't know sorry. But that is what I can conclude.

think I solved it ..thnx....snapshot one hand in place, then I hit the mirror in Deformations...then in the Polygroup pallette I clicked Group Visible....I dont know what that is supposed to do but when I did it the hand mirrored....so by accident and goofing around I made it work....dunno why it works...lol..but it does...thnx again...now if someone can explain why that worked I would be happy..thnx again...

here is the result of what I was playing with a bit ...worked like a champ on this Dave Cardwell homage zombie I did a bit ago...just never got around to adding the hands....
