I've done this before but on the part I'm working on it won't seem to work. Is there a trick that I'm missing?

No one else has this question

Select a face on the sheet metal body then select the mirror tool to mirror the body

  It won't allow me to select a face. You did mean to use as the mirror, correct?

    Is it a loft?

      No not a loft, seems like a fairly simple part.

        In earlier versions, it had to be a planar face of a plane that did not intersect the part. The resulting part also had to be valid sheetmetal (couldn't thicken a wall.) I just played around with 2008 and found that those limits do not apply any more. So it depends on what version you are using.
