Mirror create empty component

[Anonymous]

My daily bug report:

When I mirror a component containing a few mesh bodies, the preview seems OK

But when I clic OK, I get an empty component.

You'll have to convert these mesh bodies into data that can actually be manipulated by Fusion 360 e.g. BRep.

What would you want to do with a mirrored triangulated mesh ?

Thanks Peter,

I just want to have it displayed.

There is no mathematical impossibility to mirror a mesh, many soft do it.

It is possible to translate, rotate, scale, copy a mesh in the model environment, why not mirror?

If Fusion can't mirror a mesh in the Model environnement, I should at least have a feedback and not an empty component to avoid spending hours to guess what happens.

Fair enough!

I agree that you should receive an error message!

This is something that simply has none been implemented yet and probably won't any time soon. IN the 5 years I've frequent this forum this is the first time I see a. user asking for it so it's probably not on the team's radar.

This seems to work in non history mode. If you are working with history, create a base feature from the create menu and while in the base feature run mirror and select the component containing the mesh. But in my test the mirrored mesh flips when you click OK and you just end up with a rotated copy not a mirror. So seems the mirror command is bugged and should either give an error when the component contains a mesh or should work.
