I’ve used the Subtool Master to mirror a subtool, with the “merge into one subtool” option selected. I’ve changed my mind and I now want to turn off the mirror but I can’t work out how to do that!
How do I turn off the mirror?
Hello @ianww
That is a destructive operation–it changes the geometry in the subtool. There is nothing to “turn off”.
If Ctrl Z is not an option, it depends on the situation. If you have mirrored two separate pieces of geometry that are clearly separate on either side of the axis plane, either delete one by hiding it and using Tool> Geometry> Modify Topology> Delete Hidden, or split them into separate subtools by using Tool> Subtool> Split to Parts (or any other split method you prefer).
If you used this function on a piece of geometry that was centered on the axis, you may have created two overlapping meshes that occupy more or less the same space. It may be difficult to delete one while they are overlapping, but “Split to Parts” as above should work. Then delete or do what you will with the extra subtool.
Thanks Spyndel - lesson learned!
