Support for part mirroring.

Is there any plan to support mirroring of parts in addition to rotation?

That would undoubtedly add some complexity to the nesting calculation, but indeed with certain part shapes that could allow better nesting. I like the idea of this possibility.

If this will be implemented, then please add an option to enable/disable this feature. This would avoid unwanted results if the material has different surfaces on each side.

If added, this should be a setting per part. For some constructions, interior parts can be mirrored, but parts on the outside need one specific side up, so that e.g. dirt from the laser-bed is not visible. Great feature. And hey, great software!

Mirroring ability checkbox per part would be a great addition to this awesome software.

An old feature request, but still absolutely relevant. With the ability to allow mirroring, this really would be absolutely class-leading when compared to fully-priced software, let alone donationware. Further to this, the ability to tag parts that can be mirrored and those that can't would be exceptionally useful.

I would also need part mirroring. A workaround could be adding several mirrored CAD parts by hand and start the calculation.
