      As a new Sketchup user with years in AutoCAD I find myself wishing, about 100 times per hour, for a simple, CAD-style mirror function. Select, draw mirror line, and click. I assume others have posted on this, but I don't see it.

        There are already several ways to mirror entities in SketchUp with native tools. Flip Along does that as does the scale Tool with -1 as the scale factor. No mirror line required. There's also TIG's Mirror plugin (in the SCF Plugin Store) which will do the mirroring with a mirror line. Do you need another mirror function than those three?

          Thank you. In searching for a mirror function, it never occurred to me to look for the word "flip". Thanks for the info.
