Symmetry
========
-The feature **Symmetry** makes symmetrical copy of a selected shape.
+**Symmetry** feature makes a symmetrical copy of the selected shape.
-To create Symmetry in the active part:
+To create a Symmetry in the active part:
#. select in the Main Menu *Part - > Symmetry* item or
#. click **Symmetry** button in the toolbar
Input fields:
- **Main objects** panel contains shapes to be translated. Shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
-- **Point** defines point of symmetry selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
-- **Create a copy** checkbox turns on/off preservation of the initial object.
+- **Point** defines a point of symmetry selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
+- **Create a copy** checkbox preserves/removes the initial object.
**TUI Command**: *model.addSymmetry(Part_doc, [shape], point, copy)*
Result
""""""
-Result of operation is mirrored initial shape with **Create a copy** = *True*.
+The result of operation is a mirrored initial shape with **Create a copy** = *True*.
