Blender x mirror not working

If you're trying to use the Mirror Modifier in Blender and it's not working, there are a few things you can check. First, make sure that you have the correct object selected. The Mirror Modifier only works on mesh objects, so if you have another type of object selected (like a curve or a lamp), it won't work. Second, make sure that the object you're trying to mirror is centered on the origin. If it's not, the modifier won't work properly. Finally, make sure that you have the correct axis selected in the modifier settings. The Mirror Modifier only works on the X, Y, and Z axes, so if you have a different axis selected, it won't work.
If you're still having trouble getting the Mirror Modifier to work, there are a few other things you can try. First, you can try increasing the Offset value in the modifier settings. This will move the mirrored object away from the original object, which can sometimes help. Second, you can try using the Clipping option in the modifier settings. This will clip the mirrored object so that it only extends to the edge of the original object. This can be useful if you're trying to mirror a complex object and you don't want the mirror to extend all the way to the other side of the object. Finally, you can try using the Mirror across Object option in the modifier settings. This will mirror the object across another object, which can be useful if you're trying to mirror an object that's not centered on the origin.
