I’m building straps for a helmet. I can activate the symmetry so the straps on both sides of the face mirror each other but I can’t figure out how to add buckles to one side and have them automatically appear on the other. I thought I’d done this long ago but can’t figure it out. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Are you using an IMM brush, or inserting the mesh as a subtool? IMM brushes respond to symmetry if it is active.
In the case of the latter, simply perform a Tool> Geometry> Modify Topology> Mirror and Weld to mirror it to the other side. Note that this function only works in one direction, so you may need to flip (Tool> Deformation> Mirror) it to the other side first in order to get it to M&W to the side you want.
Inserting mesh subtools or trying to import .obj files.
Will give it a try. Thanks!
