Hi,

How can you mirror an object in Moray? I didn't find anything, but is
it really impossible?
And in case it's impossible, why so?

Thanks in advance,
- Julius

The usual way is to scale by -1 in the approproate axis.

Don't do it for two many axes though, pov-ray can't cope.

Or just scale by -1 in the axis you want to mirror the object.

Bye for now,
