How to Create a Mirror Image Part - Additive Invert a Column in an XYZ Grid
|
To create a mirror image part, VTube lets you perform an Additive Invert on any column of XYZ values. This means that VTube can multiply an entire column of XYZ values negative one. |
|
STEP 1: Additive Invert a Column in the XYZ Coordinates
|
Select a cell in an XYZ column to invert, right click, the choose Additive Invert. |
|
STEP 2: Redraw and Zoom All
|
If the new part does not appear on the screen, then REDRAW and ZOOM ALL. |
|
How to Create a Mirror Image Part - Swap Any Two Columns in an XYZ Grid
|
VTube also lets you perform column swaps. This means that VTube can swap the XY, XZ, or YZ columns in an XYZ grid. |
|
STEP 1: Additive Invert a Column in the XYZ Coordinates
|
Select a cell in an XYZ column to invert, right click, the choose Additive Invert. |
|
STEP 2: Redraw, Zoom All, and Alignment
|
If the new part does not appear on the screen, then REDRAW and ZOOM ALL. |
