Assembly Modeling

In the second step we get a preview of the mirrored part and we can

optionally change its orientation and optionally create an "opposite hand" version

of it. In this case, we don't need an opposite hand version, since the same part can

be added on both sides. In case a mirrored component is not correctly oriented,

select it and cycle through the different orientations until the desired orientation is

shown using the "Reorient components" buttons at the bottom of the selection list.

After finishing the command, a new instance of the 'Side Cover' is added to the

assembly and a "Mirror Component" feature is added to the FeatureManager.
