# 33 - Kaleidospace group

Form

## Kaleidospace group

The Kaleidospace group adds 3D symmetry to the particle grid.

### Mirror On X/Y/Z

These checkboxes define the symmetry axes. The following images show these parameters in play.

*From left to right: all mirroring off, Mirror X, Mirror Y, Mirror Z with position z 500 pixels back, and Mirror X and Y.*

### Behavior

Two options in a pull-down menu define the symmetry operation.

- **Mirror and Remove:** Works like a regular kaleidoscope, where half of the image is mirrored and the other half is not visible (since it is replaced by the reflection).
- **Mirror Everything:** Particles are mirrored both ways so that nothing is discarded.

![k_everything](https://help.maxon.net/rg/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/K_MirrorEverything.gif)\
*Behavior is set to Mirror and Remove (left) and Mirror Everything (right).*

### Center Position

Establish the symmetry center with x/y/z coordinates. Coordinates take effect when the corresponding Mirror value is checked (i.e., z position will adjust when you select Mirror on Z).
