| Parameter | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror Plane | The face to mirror across | None (select a face) |
| Keep Original | Retain the original geometry along with the mirror | On |

Tips
- Use mirror to quickly create symmetric parts
- The mirror plane should be flat (planar)
- Combine with pattern for complex symmetric arrangements
