Noobie question: How do I copy and flip?
-
Hi guys!
Noobie here. This is the firt time using any 3D modeling tool. Loving it so far. I have been using this for a little less than a day and am already hooked.
My question is how do I Copy this element (Screenshot attached) and flip it around so it is mirrored? This is the footboard section of a loft bed. I don't want to have to redraw each of those stiles again.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Welcome aboard!
In SketchUp, you can select the object, then move a copy (that is to activate the move tool, press ctrl and you get a little plus sign on the cursor which means you will make a copy when you move it). So "move a copy" over to where you want it to go. Then scale it to -1 (make sure you grab the correct scale handle or else you flip it in more directions than you really want).
Hope that helps.
