Transform is a setting in the MAtricks window. It is found in the Invert Options 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:

  • Quickly create symmetrical objects.
  • Keep a symmetrical impression with an odd fixture selection.
