I am modelling architectural ornament and I created one side
of it and tried to mirror the other side but got a failure message
saying that it would "result in zero thickness geometry"
I created this with a swept loft.
any ideas?
Thanks

I tried mirroring bodies but I got a message saying "failed to merge the newly
generated body with the work piece."
Double check with a fine comb that your reference planes and sketches are all on the up and up. If no error ifs found there, try extending the surface a little bit at the plane the feature is to be mirrored about. Then trim the surface using this mirror plane, attempt the mirror feature.
Rarely something I've noticed or experienced is similar to this scenario. A normal mirror feature doesn't work, mirror body merge result doesn't work, though mirror body do not merge result + combine feature later on does work.
Here's the model. When I did the loft it seemed like the loft wasn't following
the guide curve closest to the mirror plane exactly. It looked a little off.
Thanks Martin, How did you fix it?
Thanks to everybody else too. I learned a little more about this command.
Martin, I couldn't open the file you sent but I tweaked the extrusion and was able to get mirror to work.
Tony, where is the "check sketch for feature command" Is this the check command in the toolbox?
I have another question for the same model. In this model I created a projected curve. Is there
a way to mirror projected curves?
Thanks again!
Try mirroring bodies.
