      Edited:

      I've revamped my initial thought a bit. At first I thought of a mirror/symmetry option
      that could be built into the Shape Builder tool.

      One idea I like better now is that the result of the Shape Builder tool on the original grid,
      should also appear on any cloned version of the of the grid.

      Because this would opens far more possibilities this way.

      Original Post:
      (As the title says. I played a little with a grid I created myself
      for Pattern creation. And I thought that a mirroring or Symmetry option
      for the Shape Builder Tool could be useful.

      Or is my imagination running away with me ?
      After all, with clones you can already create nice
      symmetries via shapes.

      What do the majority think 🙂 )

            Here is my symmetrical Grid, but Shape Builder
            will not work symmetrical. Btw. i dont know
            if this would be a good idea.

            My Workaround is to use cloned Shapes
            in symmetrical order.

            Another Idea was, Shape Builder could work
            as it does by now if the Results will also appear
            on Clones. This way i could also build any
            Symmetry. But it seems it doesnt work on Clones.

              If i think about it i like the Option where the Shape Tool
              would also work on Clones the most.
              Because this way i will have more possibilities then
              with just a Symmetry Option in Shape Builder.
