In Carrara 1.1 I cannot seem to get the "Duplicate with Symmetry" command to work correctly with metaball objects. Instead of a mirror image I get an exact duplicate object that spins wildly as I attempt to pan arround the scene. The command works as expected with spline and mesh models, but goes nuts with metaball objects. As a long time RDS user I am totally perplexed by this. Eovia techs have not responded to my queries. I could convert the master object to a polymesh then dup w/ symm. but would lose the animation advantages of the metaball modeller. This command works wonderfully in RDS 5.5 but as I no longer have RDS 5.5, I'm stuck. System: WinXp, 320MB ram, twin screen (16MB TNT and 32MB TNT graphics cards) Athlon 1.1 GHz.
