# ![Mirror Objects icon](images/icons/Object_Mirror.png) Mirror Objects

The __Mirror Objects__ tool creates mirrored copies of objects.

Mirroring is especially useful when you want to create symmetrical items. You can build one half, mirror it, and then [Weld](Vert_Weld.md) the two Meshes together for a perfectly symmetrical result.
