This feature is a shortcut for making symmetrical leaves and other 3D objects. Just make half the leaf, then use the mirror image to fill it out perfectly.

To make a mirror image in a 3D object in the 3D object editor,

▪        Click Mirror. 

Tips on making mirror images:

▪        Make sure that all the points on the side of your 3D object that you want to be the middle of the symmetrical object are lined up exactly in the vertical direction. If any points are out of line, the new triangles won’t attach to them and will create new points.

▪        If you already have two sides to your 3D object but want to make them symmetrical, delete all the triangles on one side of the 3D object, then remake the mirror image.
