Does anyone know how to fold or flip a mesh from the middle to create a Chinese roof corner in MAYA?

I'm working on a Chinese roof, and the corner part stumped me. How can you make a perfect roof corner in Maya?

In the Polycount Acadamy video, at 7:43 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xC0uL_QQWeY&t=464s), he could do symmetry in 3d max that turned out ideally 45 degrees. Is there a way like this in Maya?

Wow! It did work! I failed with the mirror tool several times before because I didn't combine all the mesh into a single one. Thank you!
