Join Scott Onstott for an in-depth discussion in this video Mirroring the frame and belt-tensioning components, part of AutoCAD: 3D Surface Model Design (2014).
- It's now time to mirror…all of the elements that we've modeled so far…to create the entire bicycle frame.…But before we do that, let's make sure that…everything is cleaned up.…I know there's a line here that we could delete.…If you look over here, you'll see that this green object…interferes with this red one here.…Let's turn on layer 3D-Frame and orbit underneath.…Let's use the Surface Trim command to trim this surface.…
Enter with this one.…Enter and then click here and here, enter.…If you look really closely at this intersection,…you can see that there's a gap.…You can fix that.…I'm going to turn on the 2D layer…corresponding to this object.…I'm looking for TriangleBottom.…Let's turn that on.…That will give us a guide so that we don't move this…in a way that doesn't correspond with the design.…
Then I'm going to isolate some objects.…I'll click here and choose Isolate Objects.…Choose this object and these.…That lets me see what I'm doing.…Now I'm going to click on this object…and grab its center grip and move it from...…
