Could we please have a mirror tool added to construction.

Hey.

When it comes to building/construction, with the walls/floors and other symmetrical pieces the rotation 'Z' key is enough to swing a piece around to finish off a build and/or create symmetrical builds however there are some individual decoration pieces where the Z key does not work like this, it just swings the item around, it doesn't mirror/flip the item and creates asymmetrical builds instead. It would be great if you could include, on the build X key...

... a mirror key option so we can flip these asymmetrical items.

At the moment there are pieces that are limited in their use, for example, the Turtle Rock Wildlife Orphanage timed scenario Przewalski's horse statue. This is a great item and would look great on builds, but you cannot create a cohesive symmetrical design because the design requires a mirror tool in order to flip to flank the build. As it stands, because this item faces/turns one way, it limits its use. Sure, you can plonk it on a fountain or put it in a nature scenery scape but compared to the Green Leaf Zoological timed scenario Capybara statue that faces front on, because the horse twists in a certain way, without access to a mirror tool, you can't add it multiple times to a build because it throws out the aesthetics out because it will face the same way. IDK about other builders but most of my builds are symmetrical so a mirror tool would be so very welcomed. I've used the statue as an example, but you have single corner pieces and other single prop pieces that are the same, because of their design it would require a mirror tool to flip it to create symmetry, the 'Z' key doesn't work for these pieces.

Thanks for reading.
 
I like this idea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if it would work.

I think that a simpler solution would be to make mirrored variants of different items, specifically the reward statues
Yeah, but if it could work, the mirror object idea would work for (presumably) everything... not just the objects included. Would also mean less clutter...
 
this would be great, but wanted to point out that in PlanCo, anytime this was done, it was two separate pieces in the pack...like Left Door and Right door.
