      Mirror by 3 Points by Tig don't makes that ?
      And if you use before Slice2 by Surfoyou what do you want more? πŸ˜„
      (for have a vertical cut "straight" the trick is use the "View Top" Parallel camera)

      Or even before the new VisuHole by Fredo6 who is also a very good solid slicer! πŸ˜‰

        I use mirror by TIG regularily. Havent tried the other script.
        I was thinking of a auto cut along mirror axis function included for better workflow.

          Cut an object is two seconds ! Call the Mirror and apply is 3 seconds! All is 5 seconds!
          That avoid some headache to the ruby developper! πŸ˜„

            I can see adding a final rotational option (graphically on screen) would be a cool addition to the Mirror tool

              Yes, and the Max modifier does it in a way so that you can change things afterwards but I guess that would be asking too much? Would it be doable with section cuts per object?

                It would certainly be interesting if you could select a plane and have whatever geometry you draw appear reversed on the other side.
                It can make such a difference sometimes seeing the symmetry as you design.

                  It would be an interesting thing indeed. Of course it can already be done with the use of components.

                    Yes but I like the idea of doodling symmetrically and see what you get, rather than making flipped components to start with. Plus if everything was mirrored while tool is active. Raw geometry/components/arrays etc etc

                        Yes yes Dave I know I know, I often have models made of multiple flipped and twisted components. All I'm saying is it would be handy to be able to drop a plane into a complex model and know that whatever you drew on one side would appear on the other.
                        People want plugins to wipe their bums for them, can't I too?

                          I know. And you should have that plugin. πŸ˜„

                          Actually I think it would be cool, too.

                            ...and having such a plugin could easily turn any linear object to a angled one.
                            Imagine doing a detailed window with all the frames and then, voila, it's a corner window. 😎
