Unfortunately none of the CAD proggies (that I'm familiar with) support an
automated mirror function. Hopefully we can add that to Michael's "todo" list
for MLCAD.
If the wings truly are identical you can probably get close by copying and
rotating the group of parts, but I would guess they aren't actually identical,
especially shuttle wings. If you've used any wing or angled plates at all then
remember the mirrored side will need to use different part numbers (part of the
problem in creating a mirror routine).
I've run into this need a couple of times but end up having to build the
secondary part by copying and modifying the first.
