How to install:

A very useful tool for artists that want a quick and easy way to mirror their work. 

For best user experience bind the script to a hotkey!

Description:

X-Y-Z mirror buttons will mirror your mesh on each corresponding  axis.

Duplicate Mirror 

• will duplicate and then mirror on a selected axis. (This option will always be on by default).

Combine Mirror

• will duplicate your mesh and then combine it with the original. (Works with having multiple meshes selected).

Instance Mirror 

• will  create an instance of the selected mesh on a selected axis.

Mirror

• Uses Maya's Mirror Cut tool to mirror geometry. Default orientation is set to + Ctrl+Click to change it to -.

If nothing is checked then X-Y-Z will just mirror your selected mesh.

Match Pivot - Match the pivot point (orientation and location) of any selected object to the last selected object.

Create Locator - Creates a locator for every selected object. That locator will match each objects pivot point orientation and location.

The tool now also works for Maya 2025. 

Additions:

• Alt + Click on the Z button when the instance checkbox is checked will create a plain instance.
