@patdoc To add to @theluthier you will eventually find that using a mirror modifier, applying it to do some stuff and then deleting 1/2, and then adding the mirror modifier again is actually a workflow that overcomes some interesting challenges that would otherwise take up a lot of time.
i have seen that workflow used in a few tutorial videos. It helps overcome some challenges like when you need to do some work at the “mirror line“ and so forth. And there are other uses as well.
i’ve found myself doing it recently on some of my projects.
