Mirrors

I've created a wall segment and need a mirror of it.  I can create the mirror but can't figure out how to get rid of the original and save the mirror as a component all on it's own.

Did you Mirror Body or did you Mirror Component?

Do you want the sketch in the mirror to edit?

Can you File>Export your *.f3d file to your local drive and then Attach it here to a Reply?

What I'm trying to do is, I'm designing a scale building for 3D printing, the model will be way larger than the print bed of the printer, so I'm designing the walls in segments.  There are only four different variations of the wall segments, the rest are copies and mirrors of the other segments.

I've tried mirroring both the component and the body.  I don't need the mirror to be editable as I just want to be able to 3D print the original and mirror separately.  Attached is the .f3d file.  Thanks for your help.

What scale do you plan to print this at?

By the time you scale down, what will the groove between the bricks measure at?

It is not necessary to create separations in Fusion.

This can be done in Slicer based on the size of the available build space.
