Create or Select an Object: Suppose you have created a 3D model of half a butterfly wing.
Use the Mirror Tool: Select the wing, then click on the Mirror tool (it looks like two
triangles).
Choose the Axis: Select the axis (X, Y, or Z) along which you want to mirror the wing. For a
butterfly, you'd choose the vertical axis (Y-axis).
