Mirror Modifier

posted to: Modeling Pipes

Making the bracket for the pipe the mirror part is always placed inside of the pipe.  I have redone the bracket multiple times and the mirror is still the same.

    I figured out why the mirror is offset. The pipe origin was not centered to the geometry and was at the beginning of the pipe. Once i centered the origin and of course i had to redo the bracket.

    Glad you figured it out!

    That happens quite a lot, actually :)

    Yes, good catch Joshua. Also remember not only the object origin is of the most importance when using the mirror modifier, but try to keep in mind that also the rotation of your object can mess things up. It is best if you have your rotations cleared up and just for good practice also the scale.
