        I thought your edits would obviate answering whether to erase original each time. I guess COTTY was actually the one to show that. I don't care regarding selection afterwards as I do NOT usually move the object.

              ... I would prefer that the new mirrored object be the one selected so I can immediately move it.

              Being a big user of that extension, I often had that thought. So I second that. 😎

                      Wanted to learn some more Ruby.
                      Added LanguageHandler to it. French included.
                      Tested on Mac and PC.

                      update: Attached the Localized version. This version also selects the mirrored copy at exit.

                        I tweaked the localized version so that it can show the toolbar icon properly.
                        In Mirror_code.rb: png=File.join(DATA, "Mirror.png")
                        Previously the png file name was linked to the name of the extension. But that name changes upon localisation. I made it so that the link to the png filename is not variable.

                          Hey TIG. Thanks for this plugin, very useful. I run a small CNC from home for personal improvement, and test different software. To do so I export my sketchup files to dxf. I've noticed that when using your mirror plugin, some geometry (usually curves) exports wrong into 3D dxf... even though they appear to be just fine in SketchUP. Do you know anything about that issue or how to fix it?

                          If you need a sample file to check let me know.

                              Pity that LanguageHandler is not there.
                              It was all done. 😞

                                Sorry, but there are time constraints for working on these 'free' extensions...

                                  Ok then,
                                  I re-did it. Here is the fr localized version. Signed.
                                  Very easy to add any other language.
                                  (mirrored entities are selected at the end)
                                  I would be honoured if next upgrade could stem from this one. πŸ˜‰

                                    Coming from the VFX community, the Mirror Object/Face tool is common across all 3D packages (be it Lightwave, Max, Maya, Etc...). I found it bizarre the SU doesn't have this native function (weird). You really miss the "Mirror Tool" when hopping into a packages that don't offer it.

                                    Thank you for you're development time and great little plugin, and, preventing me from loosing my mind, because I'm soooo used to having this tool!

                                    Works great in SU2017, does what it claims (simple and sweet). Wink....

                                      It sidesteps the glitches some PC users get when they have accented-characters in their user-name.
