| :Menu: :menuselection:`Mesh --> Mirror --> Mirror Vertex Group` | :Menu: :menuselection:`Mesh --> Weights --> Mirror` | ||||
| This tool works only with a perfectly symmetrical mesh (along the local X axis). | Mirrors the vertex group weights. | ||||
| Those vertices that have no corresponding vertex on the other side will not be affected. | See :ref:`Mirror Vertex Group <bpy.ops.object.vertex_group_mirror>` for more information. | ||||
| Mirror Weights | |||||
| With this option checked, every selected vertex receives | |||||
| the group/weight information of its symmetrical counterpart. | |||||
| If both vertices are selected, it will be a group/weight information exchange; | |||||
| if only one is selected, information from the unselected will be copied into the selected one, | |||||
| that loses its own information. Information on group/weight is passed for the active group only, | |||||
| unless *All Groups* is checked, in which case it is passed for all groups. | |||||
| Flip Groups Names | |||||
| Works with selected vertices that belong to vertex groups with "symmetrical names" | |||||
| (with components like "L", "R", "right", "left"). | |||||
| All selected vertices that belong to the active group, or to the symmetrical of the active group, | |||||
| will have their assignation to that group replaced by an assignation to the symmetrical one; | |||||
| however, its weight will be preserved. | |||||
| All Groups | |||||
| If *All Groups* is checked, all assignations to these kind of groups | |||||
| will be replaced by the symmetrical counterpart, also keeping the old weights. | |||||
| Topology Mirror | |||||
| Mirror for meshes which are not fully symmetric. | |||||
| See :ref:`here <modeling_meshes_editing_topology-mirror>` for more information. | |||||
| Usually only one of those operations (*Mirror Weights* or *Flip Groups Names*) | |||||
| will be performed, though you can activate both at the same time, | |||||
| if you know what you are doing (these two operations could even cancel each other). | |||||
