Problem with mirroring a solid

Anonymous
Not applicable

Hello all,

I am currently using Inventor 2021 Professional on Win10 Pro.  I am attempting to model a thick shelled object using lofts, which are then mirrored.  I want to make the shell in sections.  In the attached ipt file, I have successfully lofted and mirrored (on the YZ plane) Solid16.   I am attempting to do exactly the same with the "half shell" Solid21 but when I try and repeat the steps that I went through for Solid16, I get ...

---------------------

Create mirror pattern failed
MMA Style Main Body - Thicker Wall From Half Cups.ipt: Errors occurred during update
Mirror12: Could not build this Mirror
The attempted Pattern operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.
The attempted operation did not produce meaningful intersection edges from the face-face intersection. Try with different inputs.
The attempted Pattern operation did not produce a meaningful result. Try with different inputs.-

--------------------

The operation seemed to work on a previous version of this model, so I am rather confused.

See Attached file (I did not take time to diagnose the root issue).
