mirror and weld choose what side to mirror?

ZBrush Usage Questions

Hey guys,

In R3 is there a way to choose what side the welding is applied to a symmetrical mesh? My mesh is a bit messed up and I want to apply changes on one side to another. Smart resym isn’t working cause of the mesh, so I’d just like to mirror and weld. But it mirrors the side I didn’t apply changes to XD.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I`m not sure if this will help you but if you click on the Mirror and Weld button your tool will get mirrored along the axis you selected. Did you try changing the axis?

If you switch on the Floor grid, the axis lines (red for X and so on) give a good indication. See here:

Thanks Marcus. I didn`t see this new explanation in the online docs. Good to know! :slight_smile:

The wiki is being regularly updated. :slight_smile:

Thanks for the help guys :). Apparently it only mirrors from left to right (bad for my because I do all my work on the right XD)

I was able to mirror by using transpose, drawing the action line directly in the center of the axis, and rotation the model 180 degrees upside down. This way all the detail I created was on the left now. Then I just used the mirror and weld tool and rotated it back.

Hope that helps someone in the future!
