Cannot stitch an element to meet its mirror
I’ve got a cabin with the right part mirroring the left. Unfortunately, there are some gaps in between the two so I thought to connect the benches with the ’Patch > Stitch’ tool.
This should be used for such things, right?
Only, it does not allow stitching an element with its mirror image.
The problem is, as a user glancing the design, I wouldn’t know if the implementation of the form uses mirroring or not. The limitation feels arbitrary - it’s the mechanics within the program standing in my way.
The tool could figure out that the surfaces are mirrors, and extend them towards each other (i.e. extend one of them, having the other one retain the mirroring) until they meet. Why not?
Picture after I've tried to select the two halves of the bench to stitch them together.
I’m not looking for a way around this, using some other tool or mindset (there are already too many such limitations in Fusion - things should Just Work).
