Paste Mirrored is not working

[JamesL]

I can't figure out why paste mirrored isn't working. I am working on a Mac, but other than that, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. Just trying to finish up exercise 5 and am a bit confused. Any help appreciated.

The most frequent reason is that the "Key Model" button (found at the bottom of the interface) is not on when you do the copying and mirror-pasting. Check that first.

 

the "keyframing options" vid in the tut link in my sig gives some further background on the use of the various keyframe filter buttons.

Key Model was the problem. It was on, I turned it off, then back on again. Then it worked.

 

Thanks.

What did you turn it off to (Key Bone?) before you turned it back on?

 

I'm still having issues.

Solution found from previous post on this subject:

 

"Are the bones in your flower actually named "right____" and "left ____"?

 

Mirroring bones requires that and that the spine bones be absolutely centered."
