I still consider myself a purist and wouldn't use the mirror feature, but if it would make others in the Pontifex community happy and it was easy to implement, then why not!

I do CAD work for a living and one of the nice features of the advanced programs is a MIRROR button.
This way you only create one half of the brigde or structure or piece...hit the MIRROR button and WAMMO you get the identical thing created on the other side.
This would help with complex creations.

The mirror / x-symmetry option must have a way of choosing what X to mirror around. Not all bridges are straight middle X symmetric.

Yeah, I've suggested an X-Symmetry function before, and it's already mentioned in 3 other threads, so I think most people want it top priority, now CL come on and implement it already!
