“Mirror Geometry” is the command, copies and pastes bodies on the model by mirroring through plane or surface.
This command is useful to mirror the full body in the model. The new body will be created after the command used. You can see bodies in the model by clicking the right mouse button on the part navigator then selecting “Timestamp Order”.
Changes in “Mirrored Geometry” updates on the copied new bodies. If you don’t want to update the new model, unclick “Associative” in the settings tab.
Command activation:
- Select “Mirror Geometry” command on “Menu => Insert => Associative Copy => Pattern Face”
For using Mirror Geometry:

- Click MMB (middle mouse button).
- Select “Mirror” in the “Mirror Plane” tab.
- Define the plane by clicking on a surface or plane.

in surface mirror geometry . it will show error .
it will creat gap…
When using the “Mirror Face” command, you might see an error message as “A complete intersection can not be found between the target and tool bodies.”
You can solve this problem by using the “Mirror Geometry” command instead of the “Mirror Face” command. But there is an important trick when using this command.
Method to mirror face in NX modeling:
1. Start the “Mirror Geometry” command.

3. Select face for mirroring.
4. Select a mirror plane.
5. Click “Ok” to create a mirrored face and finish the command.
