Mirror modifier Question

Okay, so I’ve completed the crate and now i am customizing it with thing I have learned from making the game device. I’ve made some instanced screws. I want them to mirror around the crate like the crate body and bumpers but I’m not getting this effect even tho its in the same collection as the crate body. I made the mirror modifier for the screws itself but it didn’t seem to work. How do I accomplish getting the screws to mirror similar to the crate body?

    Hi Kendrick, the Mirror Modifier uses the Object's Origin for miroring:

    You can choose the Crate as Mirror Object, or move the Screw's Origin to the center of the Crate.

    Awesome, that worked for my original screw but not my instanced screws. “ALT +D” is instancing i believe unless i got them mixed up. Do i have to move the origin for it to work on all instances? Or did i make a blunder before i got to this stage haha. I could do a mirror modifier on every screw but I do not think that is necessary.

    Solution

    You need to  use a Mirror on the instanced Screws as well. This would have happened automatically, if you had added the Mirror before you ALD+D -ed.You can copy the Modifier to all the instances in one go, by selecting all copies and then the original and then press CTRL+L > Copy Modifiers.
