Not sure if this helps but...
If you solve
(M11+1) x + M12 y = - M13
M21 x + (M22+1) y = - M23
and then normalise the vector (x,y,1) the result will be a vector normal to the
mirroring plane. To test that you indeed have a rotation/mirror you can check
that
M31 x + M32 y = -(M33+1)
to required precision.

| (...) Hi Tim, Thanks. Math is not my specialty, so all help is appreciated. If the user has rotated the mirrored submodel, doesn't the vector normal then also get rotated? The hope was there was a way to separate the mirrored aspect of the rotation (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
