  1. I have joined a mirrored object to another mirrored object (head and body, creating neck to join them) (Ctrl+J) and I am trying to connect them by creating vertices (tried extruding/merging or pressing f to just fill). I have selected one vertices from each object to create edge then with four of those I can create a face. But when I try the face or edge is created on the other side of the mirror not on the same side any solutions without removing the mirror. (shown below)

  1. I would like to move parts of the mesh around from where I selected, but when I try to move it it is controlled from the left side and only the left side (the original mesh). I was able to do this before (move parts of the mesh from both sides) I don't know why I can't any more maybe from the update, any solutions? An example for more detail if I try to drag the right side out it inwards becuase I am moving it from the left side not the right side that I selected

  • $\begingroup$ disable clipping and move them where you want then enable it again $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ and i meant the top vertices or flip the top object on the X_axis and it's better to work with the mirror disabled in the edit mode to see the real vertices $\endgroup$

You merged objects mirrored but not moddeled on the same side. You can see that by deactivating the visibility of the modified topo.

enter image description here

to fix that, apply the mirror (in object mode, not edit)

enter image description here

In front ortho view (NumPad1 front view, NumPad5 to switch perspective/ortho view) Box select B one side.

enter image description here

Delete selected vertices with X

enter image description here

add the mirror modifier that should work correctly

  • $\begingroup$ Is there a way when I select the mirrored side the manipulator will go there as well instead of going to the original side. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ nope, the manipulator appears where the real selected vertices/edges/faces are, even if you select the mirrored ones. $\endgroup$

disable the Mirror in edit mode to see the original verticies :

enter image description here

the two part are not on the same side and that wat cosed the crossed faces

  • select the top part
  • press Ctrl + M and mirror along X-axis
  • move the mesh to the right position
  • now you can bridge them
