Can you pattern or mirror components?

[lukepighetti]

I can't seem to pattern or mirror components, only bodies, faces, or features. Is there a method or feature I'm missing?

Thanks

Luke

Patterning is pretty straight forward, mirroring holds a little surprise.

Thanks TrippyLighting!

Nice video, the result of mirror whether you get single body or multiple bodies depends on whether there is a chance to boolean them. If the bodies intersect we give booleaned (combined) result for pattern bodies. It's not dependent on which component is active. Hope that clarifies.

I noticed that mirror components work in Direct Modeling mode. I will check with the development team here.

Thanks,

feature request, automatically collect patterned components into a "Pattern 1" folder. 🙂

feature request, allow mirror components that update appropriately when features/geometry are added, not just bodies. 🙂
