Maya 2016 Ext 2 : Symmetrical Modeling Workflows from Steven Roselle

Steven Roselle takes us thru about 20 minutes of symmetrical modeling workflows 
( yes almost 20 minutes) 





All the Maya Modeling tools are now fully symmetrical compatible

• selections, preSelections 
• connect tool
• multi-cut tool   ( which just keeps getting better) 
• offset edge loop
• insert edge loop tool
• vertex normal tool 
• quad draw ( which actually makes retopo fun 
• transform constraints ( which now has the normal option!!!! )

 as well as some non-dynamic functions for flipping and mirroring, which can also be accessed from the new  blendShape manager tool

• edit Mesh | symmeterize
• edit Mesh | flip
• uv flipping

I didn't seem him mention it in the video, but you also can do all these symmetrical functions based on world space, or by selecting a component on your mesh
