Are any of the matrix coefficients negative?

Kev

Had a look and yes. I'n not sure quite why though, the sub model in question
consists of 2 headlight bricks side by side with a 1x2 grill tile across the two
side studs. It is used with the grill facing out on both sides of a train it
could be considered a mirror but at the same time it is also just a rotation.

Actually, the matrix can have negative coefficients without being a mirror.  If
I remember correctly, mirror detection is a matter of checking if the
determinant of the matrix is positive or negative.  If the determinant is
negative, then the matrix is a mirror matrix.

(...) You remember correctly. A 90 or 270 degree rotation will have a negative and positive coefficient off the diagonal while a 180 will have two negatives on the diagonal. Tim (16 years ago, 28-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad)
