Hey guys,

I'm working away on my first arrmour build, and I just finished a shin piece. I've notice it's asymmetrical, but there's only one file (no left/right side).

my questions is how do you mirror the printed images to ensure you don't have two left shoes so to speak? In Pepakura that is

Thanks all! I hope this isn't too much of a N00b question.

Good question! Lol in Pepakura Viewer go to 2D Menu then use the Invert Model function and it will automatically flip everything.

Not sure what program you have but on the tool bar at the top "Pepakura Designer 3" there is "others" and on the drop down menu is " mirror invertion" not sure if this is what your looking for or not havent gotten that far yet myself.

Mirror invertion is the correct tool to use, just click that and it'll do that for ya.

Be sure to take a look at your unfold too. When you mirror the 3D you also mirror the unfold.
