CGTalk - Mirroring my model?

I want to know if there is a way to mirror my model while working on it.
Basically, when I do something to one side, I want it to have the same effect on the other side.

Is that possible?

Thx for any help.

yep,
you just make a duplicate as an instance with scale set to -1
in whatever axis your modeling it in, usually x.

Yupp, the instance method works.
But what is even better is the Connect Poly Shape script, which also welds the seam between the mirrors!

You can download and read about the script here:

That script saved my day anyway...
