Duplicating objects using the Mirror command

“

Next up, we'll go over the mirror command and how best to use it. This command is perfect for any symmetrical geometry whether it's a curve, surface or solid. It's also a big time saver since you only have to build half or even a quarter of the geometry. It also increases accuracy since each half automatically matches the other side. We'll start off with this curve here and we're going to try a new little variation. We're going to record the history as we make a mirror, so I'm going to click on this button down here, record history, select the curve and just do a simple mirror (NOISE). So it's asking me for a plane. I've got a axis line already drawn. That's the red line. So looks like we did our basic mirror. Nothing special, but that record history actually, it's nice little tweaks here. So only if I work on the original, the copy updates and stays symmetrical. How cool is that? 'Kay, one little related tip here. I'm going to turn the control points off. Join both sides together…
