Key Insights
- Creating a second grip for a model can be achieved by using the Mirror function in Autodesk's Fusion 360. Nothing should be selected before going to the 'Create' drop-down to choose 'Mirror'.
- In the Mirror window, it's necessary to select 'Components' under 'Object Type', choose 'Grip 1' as the object to mirror, and then select the mirror planes.
- Once the Mirror function is applied, a mirrored grip appears instantly. Saving your model will finalize these adjustments on the Fusion Scooter model.

Now that we have one grip modeled, it's no problem to create a second grip. What we'll do is have nothing selected, go to the Create drop-down, and select Mirror. In the Mirror window, we have Object Type.
We'll drop that down and select Components. Now we can select our objects. We want to click our Grip 1. Now we need to select the mirror planes.
We'll click Select here and select that center mirror plane. We'll notice the result right away as Fusion mirrors that grip across. Go ahead and click OK.
And like magic, we have a second grip, and it says Mirror. So there we go, we have first grip and our mirrored grip. With that, congratulations, you've created the Fusion scooter.
