I usually use submodels save your tower as a tower-left or something. you have
to go thruogh each part and change either the x or z value to the opposite value
(ex. if the X is -300 change to 300) then rotate each part 180 degrees. There
are also a lot of left and right parts which need to be swaped.
or in povray you can use scale with a negative value (ex. scale<-1,0,0> ) this
will mirror around the x axis.
There is no easy way.
