Level Design - Mirroring

Would be nice to be able to quickly mirror an asset (like a wall or a floor) like in Creative. Very useful for finding the right texture of the wall to use.

I was shown the drag-to-tile flow of mirroring, and I find that an exciting way to mirror props. If this was a gizmo button when you had the asset selected instead would be perfect for new creators to understand and use.

Does pressing β€˜Q’ do something like what you want? I believe that mirrors a mesh (ie sets negative scale along one axis)

Will try it out, thanks

This β€œMirror” checkbox under Instance might be what you’re looking for


Just to clarify, this is an interface feature request. I am aware that the button exists, but would love to not have to go off the viewport to press it and then back because mirroring is a common function that we use all the time when building. Would be perfect to either have a hotkey or UI that is next to the gizmo inside the viewport. Thanks for all the info though, helps a lot

6 and 7 are the hotkeys for mirroring and rotating BuildingActors, probably need a better way to surface those in the UI.
