Maya and Symmetry

olgakoupt

Hey guys, all i want to do is get these flipping windows to the other side of the room. in max i'd just use symmetry and move the slice plane to where i want it. maya keeps dropping the whole room to the other side. Please help me, how do i move the slice plane?
(why do i have so much geo, dun worry it's about to get interesting up in here.)

What I would do is delete the half I don't want, and duplicate (as an instance) the half I do want, and scale it -1 in the direction I want it mirrored. This will scale it based on the pivot point, so make sure the pivot is where you want it to be.

Edit: If you're attached to how max does it, this script is lovely: https://gumroad.com/l/FrKTc

That script is very lovely!
But still, the stock Mirror function can be set to cut geometry & merge, which gives you a handle to drag the slice plane.
