Member Peter_G Posted February 13, 2018 Member Share Posted February 13, 2018 Hello guys, I love using 3D coat to retopo, UV and texture. I just have an issue on 80% of the models I work on with "symmetry". It will be working great, then out of nowhere later into the project it seems like all the polys snap to the symmetry axis plane... What causes this to happen, how can I prevent/stop it from happening and how can I fix the retopo after this happens. Once I turn off symmetry, the original half goes back to normal, but I can't use symmetry on it again unless I export, import. Did I just answer my question or is there another way? Thanks!

Carlosan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Is Virtual Mirror Mode switched off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Peter_G Posted February 14, 2018 Author Member Share Posted February 14, 2018 It is switched "ON". Should it be switched off? When I switch it off, I don't see the mirrored side, only the working side. Also, an update: If the VoxTree reference is hidden, symmetry works. It is only snapping to the axis plane when showing the ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Peter_G Posted February 14, 2018 Author Member Share Posted February 14, 2018 ok, solved. ... ish... Toggling "Virtual Mirror Mode" off then on again reinitialized the symmetry and its working again. Thanks for that @Calosan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Peter_G Posted February 14, 2018 Author Member Share Posted February 14, 2018 sigh... sadly thats not a fix. I'll just work around and export half and mirror in another 3D suite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted February 14, 2018 Contributor Share Posted February 14, 2018 The Symmetry plane is not centered. Try "To Center of Object" or use the "Pick" technique to place he plane where necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlosan Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 After toggling "Virtual Mirror Mode" off use apply symmetry commmand Are you using latest version 4.8.10 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
