There are a total of 4 tools based on symmetry: Rectangular Pattern, Circular Pattern, Pattern on Path, and Mirror. However, I have never used the Rectangular Pattern or Pattern on Path in an actual project, so I will not be covering them in much detail. However, if you wish to experiment with them, the mouse-over guide is quite informative.

The rotational symmetry tool allows you to create multiple copies of an object centered around an axis that you select. It is used less frequently than the tools we've covered up to this point, but still useful in certain situations.
​
The mirror tool is more intuitive; it simply reflects an object of your choosing across a plane that you select. It is also useful in certain situations, as you will find in one of the challenges.
You now have all the tools you need to do challenge 5 under Fabrication!
