Gear Mc mirroring guide position?

[hidalgo]

Hello,

There is any way to mirror the position of guides to his symmetrical counterpart? what i mean is if i can mirror the position for example of the left elbow to the right elbow without having to do it manually on a perfectly symmetrical character.

I speak about the guides not the bones of course.

Thank you

Wouldn't the built-in (Softimage, not Gear) "Symmetry Constraint" be able to do the trick?

[hidalgo]

thanks for the tip, but this requires me still to do constraint manually every single guide and afterwards remove the constraint, i was searching for a more automatized way, maybe directly in gear.

I always just delete the other side and hit duplicate symmetry after I change something.

[hidalgoserra]

and this is enough to keep the symmetry and the hierarchy?

[Jho]

Yes. It has worked perfectly fine for me.
I think a coder at work once said that a character's arms didn't have completely symmetric values, so I'm not sure what GEAR does exactly to achieve the symmetry, but in practice it works just like you'd want it to work.

thank you i will try that
