[solved] Mesh grabber - creating symmetry?

The promo for Mesh Grabber shows making an ear more elf-like. However, I'd like the ears on my character to match (weird, I know) and I can't find anything in the documentation or on YouTube tutorials that explains how to achieve this.

Help?

    Asymmetrical is natural...blush

    Well, Mesh Grabber doesn't support Symmetry itself... but check this thread - https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/comment/8558461/ ; It's the only way to make symmetry by using the combo of GeoEditor + Mesh Grabber. However, you only can make it on Y and Z axis....

    Another better way: You make an elf ear on one side and use Morph Loader Pro to make a symmetrical morph on the other side. Follow the screenshots below:

    Total side note, but thank you again for your detailed help on my Aslan Court issue last fall -- I learned a lot, and still need to look up how to do spotlights to get it right, I think. (So much to learn, and my time to do it is all in bits and snatches.) I had some family stuff come up and haven't had a chance to get back to it, unfortunately, and wound up deciding that before I started worrying about lighting, maybe I should focus on getting my characters looking right first.

    You're welcome! No problem and no hurry ~ Step-by-step learning would be always a better way for building solid knowledge. Pls take it easy. blush

    This was perfect and so easy to follow... I was having a pretty crap day, but now my girl's ears look right, and they match, and that brought a much-needed bright spot & sense of accomplishment. Thank you!!

    (She thanks you, too... as do the others in my cast who also need their ears fixed)
