pymel.core.animation.mirrorJoint

mirrorJoint(*args, **kwargs)

This command will duplicate a branch of the skeleton from the selected joint symmetrically about a plane in world space. There are three mirroring modes(xy-, yz-, xz-plane).

Flags:

• mirrorBehavior : mb (bool) [create]

  The mirrorBehavior flag is used to specify that when performing the mirror, the joint orientation axes should be mirrored such that equal rotations on the original and mirrored joints will place the skeleton in a mirrored position (symmetric across the mirroring plane). Thus, animation curves from the original joints can be copied to the mirrored side to produce a similar (but symmetric) behavior. When mirrorBehavior is not specified, the joint orientation on the mirrored side will be identical to the source side.

• mirrorXY : mxy (bool) [create]

  mirror skeleton from the selected joint about xy-plane in world space.

• mirrorXZ : mxz (bool) [create]

  mirror skeleton from the selected joint about xz-plane in world space.

• mirrorYZ : myz (bool) [create]

  mirror skeleton from the selected joint about yz-plane in world space.

• searchReplace : sr (unicode, unicode) [create]

  After performing the mirror, rename the new joints by searching the name for the first specified string and replacing it with the second specified string. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.
