Reflect paint

You can reflect your painted strokes along any axis so that when you paint, the stroke is mirrored on the opposite side of the axis. The reflection axis is based on the center of the selection’s bounding box. Reflection is useful for creating symmetrical effects.

To reflect paint

1. Open the Stroke section and select an axis for reflection—X, Y, Z, or any combination of these. Notice there are now two, four, or six brush outlines on the surface, depending on the number of selected axes.
2. Paint the surface. Your painted strokes are reflected in the selected axes.
