Mirror not creating useable body

eisenmanguitars — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 03:54:45 GMT

I had a sketch that worked, I made the cut, wanted to modify it. I used the mirror tool which successfully created my logo, but I couldn't get the new body to act like the rest. When I went manufacture it disappeared, when I tried to edit its appearance, no color would stick to it. The project is creating a pocket for inlay, the other shapes show up on my background as white voids when I turn off their visibility, there is no white void where this piece is - in my sketch. I have extracted this shape, like the others. I save and close, reopen, then its there in my manufacture tab, but its still not behaving like the rest. Is it different since it was created with a mirror tool? I have a feeling there is a simple solution that my newbie self hasn't stumbled across?

We need the file, to work with your data, theory would be unlikely cover it.

we can get better clues from pictures with the timeline and a fully extended Browser.

Thank you for your response. So do I share by copying the link and posting it here? Is that safe/best?

Best is

File > Export, (f3d)

saved to hard drive and then attached here in the section below the message pane.

Shared Link, works too, but not as popular if you have linked external files within the file (f3z).

Might help...
