I am lost little bit about the logic for using Miror between the ´Layout´and ´Sculpting´views(((

[Mikhail Bakhrakh]

Hi! Could you please explain strange logic for me:

1. I selected the ´Layout´view and Object mode -> click on Teeths and click Add ´Mirror´-> nothing. Click Y-Z axis within Mirro modifier -> the whole Shark mirrored even I have not selected it.

2. I selected the ´Sculpting´view and object mode -> everything works just perfecT!!

BUT this video contains the Layout view to make Mirror action and for Kent it works 🙁 do not understand….

Thanks!

That sounds really weird Mikhail.

Could you upload a few Screenhots of your UI, showing the two different Workspaces?

The mirror is based open the object origins position.
If the origin is in the centre of the mesh the mirror will work, but the mirrored object is in the same position.
Did you join all the teeth (except the middle one) into one object with CTRL+J?
Did you apply the rotation, scale and location as Kent does in the video?

[Mikhail Bakhrakh]

sure ‘ everything is the same in both modes, teeths joined for sure

[Mikhail Bakhrakh]

here are the screenshots

1 screen – applied Mirror in LAyout + Y axis added that leads to whole shark mirroring instead of selected teeth object

2 screen – layout mode selected and Mirror mod selected – zero effect.

3 screen – sculpting space selected and Mirror mod make the deal.

I don’t know what you have done…
But look at your properties panel, your missing some tabs. It should be the same as the sculpting workspace.
Do you have any third party add-ons?

[Martin Bergwerf]

In the Layout, you have pinned the Properties, so the Shark (Cube) has the Mirror Modifier:

I did nothing – just followed Kent´s guide) no – what are addons)) -I just a couple of days as started my Blender course and the app 🙂

Thanks, Martin, you solved my mystery 🙏! Such a minor thing but it broke my mind for the whole morning ===

So, to clarify, because of the pinning, the Selected Object can be different than what is shown in the Properties panel. This pinning is per workspace. In the Sculpting Workspace the Tab is not pinned and shows the Modifiers of the Selected Object.

Nice one Spikey! I missed that little white pin. It’s not often we see that as an issue.
