Why can’t I mirror my vertices?

Can you post a screenshot of when you try and move the Vertices on one side? (Full UI, please)
If it is not one of these two things:
So this is the image. As you can see I moved the right side but the left side didn’t move, even though I had the X-axis mirror enabled above the viewpoint rotator.That is weird. There is one thing I found: when you have Topology Mirror enabled, that might cause this:
(Don’t ask me what that is for…)Otherwise I have no idea what could be causing it.
As long as the Body is symmetricall, you could also use a Mirror Modifier in stead, like @euv mentions above.
@frankfriesen I don’t think there’s a bug. There’s no loop cut in the center of your object. That’s why Blender doesn’t have a clue what you want to do.
Here’s my example you should do with the mirror.
Another way to mirror an object:
1. Make sure its transform pivot point set Median point (default) to 3d cursor (align with the origin).
2. Turn on the mirror modifier and choose the desired axis.
3. Go to edit mode and press A to select all. Move the object in the same position as the axis portrayed on the mirror modifier.
Hey all,
It looks to me as only 2 things will cause this issue,
1, The origin is not in the centre of the object, on the mirror axis, in this case the x axis.
2, The geometry is not symmetrical on the x axis. If you moved the verts, even a fraction then turned on x mirror, it will not work.
To solve this I suggest add an edge loop in the centre, delete one side of the mesh, add a mirror modifier, enable clipping on the modifier, move the edge loop you added in the x direction until they stick in the centre, apply the mirror modifier, delete the edge loop and continue.
