mirroring problem

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

You should try using the edit > dublicate (scale=-1) instead. That will give you a new individual object. Also, you can make the new copy an instance, so if you do further model on one of them, it effects them both.

Hope this was useful.
