Symmetry Tool for painting

I do a lot of coloring in Bambu lab, but I really wish there was a symmetry Tool. I work on figures and avatars so getting both sides the same is important.

The BBL polygon painting method is challenging to use, especially for high polygon count models. I break my models up in to pieces, segregated by color, in CAD and output them as separate objects I then load all at once (so they’re treated as a single object with multiple parts) in to BBL where I can then assign individual colors to each part.

If you can’t do it that way, I would split your model down the symmetry centerline so there’s only one half to paint. Then I’d paint it, copy it, reflect it, and rejoin it to the original half.
