Transform is a setting in the MAtricks window. It is found in the [Invert Options](/grandma3/2-3/matricks/) at the bottom of the MAtricks window.

If Transform is set to Mirror, the values will be mirrored depending on the other MAtricks settings, such as Blocks, Groups, and Wings.

Transform allows to:

- Quickly create symmetrical objects.
- Keep a symmetrical impression on an odd fixture selection.

## Example

How to set Transform in a simple example:

1. Select some fixtures and set the dimmer to full.
2. Open a [Phaser Editor](/grandma3/2-3/phaser_editor/) window using the Add Window pop-up. Or tap the Phaser button in the Encoder Bar.
3. Select 2D and then tap the ![](/img/grandma3/2-3/icon_phaser_add_relative_15px-6b22c4.png) button in the left tool button bar of the phaser window.
4. Set two points, "1" and "2," like in the image below:
