Symmetry Plane Origin

Defines the center of the plane of symmetry for this layer. If you turn symmetry display on for this layer, the geometry will be reflected across this plane.

Symmetry Plane Normal

Defines the normal (perpendicular) direction for the symmetry plane. For example, 0.0 0.0 1.0 is a normal pointing up the Z axis, which creates a plane oriented along the X and Y axes.

TipUse the Set Symmetry Plane command in a layer’s pop-up menu to set the plane.
