Now, if you want, you can install the Mirror extension and use that as a mirror tool. So you can use this technique in your designing to speed up your work. For example, if I go to the editable mode of the first component and decrease the size of the cylindrical part of this component with the help of the Push/Pull tool, then you can see the change is also applied to the copied component. There is one advantage for making a copy of source component and then mirror it by using the scale tool, that although it is a copy of component object so when you are making any changes in anyone of them then the change will apply to both object automatically. Do the same for mirror it as we did in previous steps using the scale tool. Now let us mirror it in the opposite direction with the help of the Scale tool of the tool panel. Now I will move it by holding the Ctrl button on the keyboard, and it will make a copy like this. Let us make a copy of this component, and for making a copy, I will select this component first with the select tool and then take the move tool from the tool panel. You can not only mirror components or object from lengthwise or widthwise direction by using the scale tool but also from diagonals, and for that, select diagonal red anchor points of the scale box and then start dragging diagonally. Then you can mirror it from this side like this. Now, if you hold a red anchor point from this direction and start dragging it in the opposite direction. You can increase or decrease the size of the component as per your choice during doing this. Now click on one of the red anchor points of the scale box of scale tool, which is around this component.Īnd drag it in the opposite direction of the chosen achorn point.Īnd once you reach the same size of this component in other direction, it will automatically snap there, and this was, you can do a mirror of this component.

So take the scale tool from the tool panel, which is the top of the working screen of this software. The second way through which you can mirror any object is through the scale tool of SketchUp. So it totally depends upon you how you want to mirror your component, and according to your requirement, you can choose anyone of the three options for your component. On the other hand, if you go with Component’s Blue option of Flip along to mirror this component from other side. Now I will first select the component and then click on Component’s Red option.Īnd it will flip like this along with the red axis. That means if you want to mirror this object along the Red axis, then go with the Component’s Red option for mirroring along with the Green axis, go with Component’s Green option, and so on. Here in this option, you will find Component’s Red, Component’s Green, and Component’s Blue options. Now this time, go to the Flip Along with the option of scroll down list. Now select this object and again make right-click. Once you click on this option, it will ask you to name your component, and I will name it as a mirror object, then click on Create button of this dialog box. Click on the Make Component option of the drop-down list. Now I will make this selected object as a component and, for that, select the whole object and then make right-click. You can also have a Mirror extension from the Extension warehouse and use that as a mirror tool. You can also make a copy of any object and then mirror it. There is no specific tool with the name Mirror tool in SketchUp, but we can do a mirror of objects through several ways. So let me explain to you some of the ways in a very exciting manner through which you can do this. For doing a mirror of any object or for making the mirrored object of any component, you should understand some of the features and parameters of different tools as well as the methodology of this software.

You can also use Mirror extension for doing this work for your components, and you can download it from the Extension Warehouse of this software. There are a number of ways through which you can mirror any object or component in this software. SketchUp Mirror is a process through which you can reflect any object to the opposite side of it for different types of purposes.
