Step 7: Create an Instance Reflection

Create an instance reflection on the symmetry plane so that you can see the complete case:

1.   With the 3D Viewer toolbar in viewing mode, click on the cyan (ISO) sphere in the triad. This will make it easy to see the instance reflection you are about to create.

2.   Right-click on one of the wireframe lines on the symmetry plane. (If you were in select mode, the mouse cursor would have a "box'' image added when you are on a valid line. As you are in viewing mode there is no change to the cursor to show that you are on a wireframe line, so you may see the general right-click menu, as opposed to the right-click menu for the symmetry plane.) See Figure  1.4.

3.   From the right-click menu, select Reflect/Mirror. If you see a dialog box prompting you for the direction of the normal, choose the Z axis. The mirrored copy of the wireframe appears.

   If the reflection you create is on an incorrect axis, click the Undo toolbar icon twice.
