How to mirror object in Keyshot Studio?

Has anyone figure out how to mirror something in Keyshot Studio? Before you could add a negative to the scale orientation you wanted, and it would mirror. Now with studio you can no longer add a negative to the scale section.

Oh, dang! You’re right. That’s a bummer. Wonder if that change was intentional. I’d be interested to hear from a developer.

If they intentionally made that change, then I’d say they need to add a ā€˜mirror’ command.

Will have you heard any updates on the mirror problem? Hopefully there’s an update coming soon with this fix.

from what I understand negative numbers and coding (especially with coordinate systems) doesn’t play well together, so I could see that being a ā€œdon’t allow negative valuesā€ checkbox being clicked somewhere.

Uncheck that box, Keyshot Devs, please.

Thats what I was thinking happened as well its only in the scale section so I’m sure it was a small area that got missed. But hopefully its fixed soon.

No, sorry. I don’t have any information about whether or not an update will be coming before 2024.3 which I think is slated for November.

Looking for an update on this as well!

A fix for the negative scale/flipping behavior is coming with KeyShot Studio 2024.3.

I just got help from the team at Inneo!

They’ve supplied me with a script which you can import into Keyshot and creates an easy workaround.

Here’s a link to Dropbox download to access the script - https://www.dropbox.com/t/aAyTvcYaKPr1WL5a

Shoutout to Ronny Schmidt for the help :+1:

Do you have an idea for when that update will be coming out?

Hi @todd.hastings, the 2024.3 Beta is going to come out next week and the full release is coming next month!

Oh come on! You move us all onto subs at 2x the price and fail to do reasonable QA on core features? This should not be happening. Period.
