Description:

  Simply Symmetry is a modeling tool used to create
symmetrically perfect polyhedron objects in trueSpace.
It is most useful when contructing bilaterally symmetric
ojects (such as human faces) when using "box modeling"
techniques, but is useful in other situations as well.

------

Installation:

1) Copy the SSymmetry.tsx file into your trueSpace 5 tSX
   plugin directory. This is usually C:\trueSpace5\TSX.

2) Install the tSX extension into the trueSpace tSX Plugin
   Panel (refer to the trueSpace documentation for details
   on how to install tSX extensions).

------

Operation:

1) If you are working with a NURBS, metaball, or Subdivision
   Surfaces object, you will first need to convert the target
   object to a Polyhedron.
2) Enter point edit mode, and select a single face on the
   surface of the object. This face will be used as the mirror
   point for the final object.
3) Left-Click the Simply Symmetry plugin icon.
4) A new mesh will be created, with each symmetric half being
   identical to the source mesh. The "seam" face is removed in
   the process of mirroring.
5) The resulting object is a solid object (assuming the
   original was too). UV Projection is also mirrored.

NOTE: You can only mirror a "true polyhedron". NURBS or Metaball
   objects will not work. To use Simply Symmetry on them, you
   must convert the object to a polyhedron mesh first.
