    Hello,

    I've mirrored some blocks (with attributes) over the X-axis and over the
    Y-axis.
    How can i recognize which block is mirrored over the X-axis ?
    How can i recognize which block is mirrored over the Y-axis ?

    Do a 'List' on the object, IF the X or Y scale factor is -1 then it is mirrored.

    You're right Bob,

    But how do i recognize which object is mirrored over the X-axis ?
    And how do i recognize which object is mirrored over the Y-axis ?

    Martin,
    AFAIK you cant get this information with absolut reliability. The following seems to work, but i'mnot sure if it is so in any case:
    - blocks xScale=-1 and rotation=0: mirrored at y axis
    - bocks xScale=-1 and rotation=180: mirrored at x axis
    And of course there can be blocks with this values, but inserted manually and not mirrored

    Not necessarily -1, but negative.
