: Maya 2017 - Mesh Mirror results my mesh wrongly symmetry sculpt Assume I have a cube with: subdivisions width = 4 subdivisions height = 4 I delete the 4th faces I mirror it Apply

Assume I have a cube with:


subdivisions width = 4
subdivisions height = 4






I delete the 4th faces





I mirror it




Apply the mirror then move the offset to make sure no subdivision width is hide, next I press W to complete mirror


Now my sculpt's symmetry is messed up, you see the symmetry is shift to the left (of the camera)




I have tried center pivot, freeze transformations. But nothing works.

PS: I got another clue: to make symmetry sculpt work properly, center pivot is not good enough, we have to bake pivot.

Ok, according to the clue I got: to make symmetry sculpt work properly, center pivot is not good enough, we have to bake pivot.

So before mirror the object (step 3 of the question), I have to edit the pivot point (hold D or insert then drag the pivot point). See the image below:

Here I'm in front view.

1.Hold D to make the pivot point movable




Drag the mouse to move the pivot point the appropriate position




then bake pivot (Modify > Bake Pivot). After that, I can mirror the cube.
