Once you press an axis key, your object should flip along that axis – if you’re happy with the result, simply left click or hit the enter key to confirm!Įasy enough, right? But here’s the catch: Whenever you flip an object in this way, you’re also flipping every single face on the object, so faces that were pointing outwards will now be facing inward, essentially turning your model inside out – and although it might not seem like a big deal now, flipped faces like this can cause some very confusing issues later on. When you’ve selected the faces you want to mirror, simply hit Ctrl-M (or Command-M on a Mac), and then press either X, Y, or Z to choose a world axis to mirror along. Then select the faces you wish to mirror by left clicking, or select all with the A key. To switch to edit mode, click the “ Interaction Mode” dropdown and select “ Edit mode”. To start, let’s go over using the Mirror tool in edit mode. Unlike many tools in Blender, the mirror tool works both in edit mode and object mode – but both have their quirks, so I will cover methods for both here. Although it’s not difficult to use, it does come with some nuances that you’ll need to know about so before you rush back to Blender to try it out, read on! In almost any situation where an object needs to be flipped or mirrored, Blender’s built-in mirror tool is the way to go. Luckily for us, Blender has a simple solution: The Mirror Tool. Whatever the reason, often you just need to flip your model. Say you’re working on part of your model in Blender, but suddenly you realize you need it flipped the other direction – or maybe you’ve found the perfect model on BlenderKit, but it’s facing the wrong way.
