How to invert / reflect a 3DS Max Scene

Question

I want to invert/reflect a scene (collection of meshes).

Example (in 3d space): Before: [1][2] After: [2][1]

Like if you would reflect it. I hope you understand what i mean. How should i do this?

Answer 1

If you want to mimic with MaxScript what the Mirror tool does, it does like this, for example mirroring X axis:

for i=1 to objects.count do
(
  scale objects[i] [-1,1,1]
  objects[i].pos.x = -objects[i].pos.x
)

You should be warned that after that your objects scale will be negative, and that could be problematic in some situations.
