Symmetry Axis: Indicates the axis for symmetry in 3D space. Select either X, Y, or Z. The 3D mesh must be symmetric on this axis.

Direction: Indicates the mirroring direction in UV space. Selecting Positive to Negative copies UVs from the right side to the left side.

Mirror Axis: Specifies the mirror axis in UV space. Modo mirrors the specified component: U or V.

Align to Symmetry Axis: When enabled, rotates UV islands to align to the specified Symmetry Axis.
