# Symmetric editing mode for faces

I'm trying to create a simply script which orients a face towards the other (like a mirror) using the middle point which coords are calculated between their normals positions.

I didn't find a way to do with the provided tools, the only way was manually to rotate around its normal one face (eg commands R Y 35), taking into account the rotation angle and axis, and then doing the same but with minus angle (eg commands R Y 35 -)

Reading script api i found polygons but every polygons has only its normal coords and there is no way to rotate it.

Someone could help 8maybe i missed some tool/editing mode)? Thanx in advance.

• A common method for this is to only model one half and use a mirror modifier to generate the reflection side.. Script Example here re rotating faces blender.stackexchange.com/a/165705/15543 To make a mirror rotation multiply original side rotation matrix by the scale matrix that defines the mirror. eg mirror x about 0 is Matrix.Diagonal((-1, 1, 1)) ie scaling by -1 in x to make mirror loc of (x, y, z) => (-x, y, z) – batFINGER Oct 26 '20 at 9:26
• .. It's possible this is what you want, if so, sorry to interrupt.. but a rotation here will distort the edges which are along the extrusion. To maintain those edges' original radial direction, you would slide the inside edges of the top faces down them, which you could do simultaneously. – Robin Betts Oct 26 '20 at 10:25
