Lattice Mirror earns its place in the superhive library for handling real-time symmetry on lattice points inside Blender. It holds a 5-star rating across 9 ratings, and its creator, RyC, is noted as a Blender Development Fund contributor.
Lattice Mirror is a Blender addon built to streamline editing lattice points. It mirrors selected lattice points in real time along one or more axes at once, so edits carry to the mirrored sides as you move the points.
You toggle the X, Y, and Z axes with buttons and press Start Mirror from the Lattice Mirror panel in the sidebar's Item tab (press N to show the sidebar). Mirroring can be started or stopped as you work, and bulk operations reduce overhead when editing large, high-resolution lattices.
Developed and tested on Blender 3.6, the addon is compatible with any Blender version after 2.8. Recent updates added multi-axis mirroring across all three axes simultaneously along with stability and performance gains for large lattices, plus earlier support for Proportional Edit and selected middle points that move along the mirror plane.
Lattice Mirror is best for blender users editing lattice points who want real-time mirroring across one or more axes at once.
Lattice Mirror is completely free to download and use.
Lattice Mirror was developed and tested on Blender 3.6, and it is compatible with any Blender version released after 2.8. In this catalog it is listed as working from Blender 2.8 through 5.1, so it spans a wide range of both older and current builds. If you are running a version toward either end of that range, it is worth confirming behaviour on the developer's page before relying on the addon in a production file.
Lattice Mirror updates by removing the older version first and then installing the newer one. After the installation finishes, restart Blender so the addon loads cleanly. The most recent release, V1.1.0, adds multi-axis mirroring across X, Y, and Z at once along with stability and performance improvements for large lattices. Earlier updates added compatibility with Proportional Edit and made selected middle points movable along the mirror plane, so following the remove-then-reinstall step keeps those changes in place.
Lattice Mirror lives in the sidebar under the Item tab; press N to toggle the sidebar if it is not visible, then locate the Lattice Mirror panel. From there you toggle the axes you want (X, Y, Z) and press Start Mirror, select the lattice points to mirror, and begin editing. The points then mirror along the chosen axes in real time as you move them, and you can start or stop mirroring as you work through the lattice.
Lattice Mirror is listed as free here in the catalog and is distributed under the GPL license. Because pricing and licensing terms can change over time, check the developer's page for the current details before you download. The addon's creator, RyC, is also noted as a Blender Development Fund contributor. For the latest release notes and licensing specifics, the developer's page remains the most reliable place to look.
