I’m new to Nomad and I’m loving it so far!

I have run into a serious issue when detailing the sculpture…. Whatever I do on one side won’t or barely duplicates what I’m doing on the other side…

Any idea what the problem is and how to fix it ?

Thanks and I can’t wait to post my work here 😊

Just enable (local) symmetry.

You want this icon to be active

For more symmetry options you find the same icon in the upper right corner. There you can enable symmetry for one or multiple planes as well as radial symmetry.
