Move two objects in opposite directions

Anonymous

Hello.

 

I have a model with two arms: one on the left and one on the right.

 

They are two separate objects. I want them to get closer to the body, so I want them to move to a common center point.

 

Here is an example:

I want both arms to move toward the point at the center (which is the midpoint of the distance between the two objects)

I would delete one of the arms and use Edit->Duplicate special with a scale of -1. Make sure you snap your pivot to the centerline first.

Mel script based on simple grouping and special duplicate options

 

performGroup false;

performDuplicateSpecial false;

doGroup 0 1 1;

instance; scale -r -1 1 1;

 

 

After making instance select it and move
