Using Blender 3.0 in Sculpt mode. I have been (intentionally) mirroring across the Y-axis. However, now, I can't turn this off. In fact, no matter what I pick in the Symmetry settings, it continues to mirror across the Y axis.

Is there another setting somewhere to disable this - or is it a bug?

Clay tool always mirrored

Symmetry sidebar settings

    $\begingroup$ Bring back the Properties panel tabs: zupimages.net/up/22/11/1thy.jpg then click on the Modifier tab and if you see a Mirror modifier, close it by clicking on the X $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ if you loose the symmetry you can still click on the Symmetrize button in the top right panel (down arrow on the left of XYZ buttons) $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ For others, I noticed when I turned it off this way - I lost much of the symmetry between the two sides (one side became very different from the other.) After disabling the mirror modifier, I "symmetrize"ed it (+y to -y) to get it back. $\endgroup$
