Flip and Mirror

The Flip function takes the original feature and reverses it, either horizontally or vertically. Mirror works much like the Flip function. The difference is that Mirror leaves the original and makes a duplicate. Mirror creates two identical entities, facing one another.

To flip a feature vertically
