Objective: Learn how to turn the half you modeled into the complete earring.
Center Line
Since we’ve only modeled one side, we’ll mirror it. From the top view, draw a line through the center of the earring.
Trim the Solid
Select the curve and use the “Trim” command to cut the solid along that line.
Mirror the Metal
Select the cut part and mirror it:
- Set
0as the axis center. - Hold Shift and click on the left side.
The top part is now identical to the bottom.
Mirror the Gemstones
Select the gemstones and repeat the operation: “Mirror” command, 0 as the axis, hold Shift and click on the left side.
