incremental save of your model. This will keep the original model safe, and your
upcoming changes will be applied to a new copy.
2. Press F2 to center the object at the origin. Then, press Shift+y to activate the
Symmetry tool. You can also click the Symmetry button at the bottom of the

then select the polygons on the top-right side of the body, as shown in Figure
10.13. Selecting the right side with the Symmetry tool active will automatically
select the left side as well.
