I wonder how can I switch axis from one object to another one so I could Do Radial Symmetry around that object as well? Like I got two objects, one is the original/first one and the second one I added later on in different position. If I turn on radial symmetry, it’ll be around the first/original object. Now I want to add new mesh around the second object by radial symmetry. How can I achieve that? I hope the question is understandable. ---

Symmetry is handled per object which means if you set [radial] symmetry one one object, it’s only on for that object. If you want it on another object, you have to set it for that object. ---

Thank you for the answer. But the issue is that I can’t figure that out how to. ☹ ---

How did you do it on your first object? Select the object you want. Top menu, select the Symmetry button (looks like two triangles). ---

I don’t want to radially symmetrify(if that’s a word) the 2nd object. I need to radially symmetrify around that 2nd object. ---

I have made a video on this matter, maybe it helps you.

Not sure if this helps but instead of adding radial symmetry, you can add a curve repeater (it will be positioned on the center of the selection). Then switch the curve repeater to a radial one. ---

Hello, Stephomi! Unfortunately it doesn’t work. But thank you very much. That video shared previously is the way to do that.
