# Mirror Objects

When working with asymmetrical objects it can sometimes be necessary to mirror it along its axis to adapt it to a special requirement. In iVP mirroring is possible in the [2D View](/intelligent-virtual-platform/home/ivp-planning/user-interface/the-2d-view.md).

## Mirror objects in the 2D View:

To mirror an object in the 2D View select it and **press one of the two mirror buttons** located in the \[2D View toolbar]\(../user-interface/the-2d-view\.md#the-toolbar-of-the-2D View). In this way it is possible to mirror an object along two axis. Moreover it is possible to mirror it by **right clicking on the object** and then selecting "Mirror on X axis" or "Mirror on Y axis" from the appearing context menu.
