The 2018 Sketchup version allowed us to click an object then right click the mouse button to flip it. The 2026 version took that away and my work flow is less efficient. Why did you do this Dev? The color planes do not help nor work as they are supposed to (i.e. duplicating object as it is being fl…

Bro, you’re updating across 8 years of software development and are surprised there are a few changes? Have you compared an 8year old car to a current year model, how about the whole world, feel different than 8 years ago? Software changes faster than most things so you have missed a lot. For the…

You missed the point. The right-mouse-click option to flip and object has been removed from the menu. A tool that I use often has been removed and now my work flow has been disrupted. Strive for clarity and understanding instead of spewing foolish remarks.

It doesn’t matter how much “better” the new mirror/flip function is. The right-mouse-click function should not be removed form the menu. If Dev left the old flip method in tack (via shortcut keys), along with the -1 method as mentioned by another commenter, why not leave the right-mouse-click option…
