Mirror a mirrored feature

[casperhofstede]

Hi,

I'm making a bracket to 3D print to hold some screwdrivers in a pegboard. Nothing fancy, just trying Fusion 360. Once again I'm running in to something that I could swear should be super easy but it is apparently not working for me.

Attached two files, an initial and after some mirroring. What I want is to mirror the hook once rather close to it and then mirror both of these over to the other side. For some reason I am unable to select a mirror as a feature, so the last (4th) hook cannot be made by using the original.

Any pointers/help would be appreciated. To be honest I can make the hook in like a minute, I'm just stumped as to why mirroring a mirror is not an option.

Are you using the "pattern features" option in the mirror command? I think my approach may be to only model one-half of the part and then use the "pattern bodies" option to mirror the whole part instead of just a few features. If you share a sample file, I will be happy to take a look at it.

Thanks,

Hey Nate, yes your approach worked fine,using bodies I did not combine the first rib and then patterned it just fine.

Just have to merge afterwards...
