Mirroring the Deck
From this view, the decks, stairways, post, and supports are nearly symmetrical,
making the Mirror tool an excellent choice for creating most of the objects on
the back deck. The front deck is wider than the back deck, but an efficient use
of the
ERASE
and
TRIM
commands can quickly fix that.
1.
Start the
MIRROR
command, and then select all the components of the
deck, stairs, railings, posts, and the concrete support.
2.
At the
Specify first point of mirror line:
prompt, use the
Midpoint osnap to select the midpoint of the roof.
3.
At the
Specify second point of mirror line:
prompt, pick a point
directly below the first point.
The components on the right remain ghosted, while the new com-
ponents on the left appear solid, as shown in Figure 10.33.
