reverse or invert stuff

[Bmot 0]

Read the tutes, searched the boards! But still...

how the bell do ya reverse selections?

Its really quite simple, I'm making this 4 wheeled vehicle and I made one side

with wheels & stuff, and now I'd like to copy & reverse the crap.

But I dunno how to do that!

any help? how do you turn a selected wheel 180 dgr's etc. in O2?

I don't really know what you mean, but maybe:

You can mirror selections.

It's this strange, a little like a kite looking button in the upper part of your O2 (if you use O2).

Just select all of what you want to mirror, copy it, paste it, mirror it and then press W to revers all the faces.

Hope this helpes.

u can doo this in several ways to invert a selction simply select a mesh and press W this will put the selection inside out

o mirror it press on of the triangled buttons (green and black triangle shown) these will mirror the selction in horizontal or vertical direction

depending on ur pin setting the mirror effect will vary

eg u want create missile wings first create on missile fin

then slect the missile body and press c and then shift + c to use the pin

now copy and paste the fin and press the mirror button (which on depends on in which pos u creteated the fin)

it will be mirrored exactly 180° around the pin

to rotate objects or meshes manually

select a mesh object etc and press shift and RMB and move to mouse

in the lower left corner the degrees are displayed

cheerio!

great - its been too long since I last touched O2.

Feels good to be on it again!    thank you!

Hopefully, I'll end up with my final goal - a U.S. Classic MOPAR Pack
