(...) If you put a minus sign in front of one of the ones in an identity matrix, and leave everything else alone, it will mirror about the corresponding axis. For example, this one uses your original geometry, and mirrors the black part around the X (...) (16 years ago, 30-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

An LDraw type 1 line has this format: 1 <color> <x> <y> <z> <a> <b> <c> <d> <e> <f> <g> (...) (16 years ago, 30-Mar-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Just go to 'Multipart'->'New Model' and then scroll in the parts tree to 'Document' then you can put your imported model as a subpart into your new part. Make sure that you put it at the location (...) (16 years ago, 25-Feb-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)
