This is a quick tip on how to mirror a mesh very easily. Sometimes mirroring is needed with meshes, and a rotation won't suffice. In this case, I have the left half of suzannes face, but suppose I need the right side. I could use a Mirror Modifier, and then apply and delete the old half, but a simpler and cleaner method is to Scale to -1.
You can even use this method with restricted axis. So I simply Scaled [S], restricted to the x-axis [X], and entered -1. This produced a perfect mirror of the mesh while maintaining the original mesh origin. No deleting necessary.
