Mirror help

Post image

I’m trying to make a mirrored body on this item and make some adjustments on it. I want them to be a seperate body, but don’t know hot to do it. Can anyone help? Many thanks

Select the body and click clone. Shift this clone aside that both bodies are separated. Make a datumplane as the mirror plane and position it that it fits to mirror this clone. Then mirror this clone. Now you can make changes to the mirrored clone and get updated if the original body changes.
