# 40 - Kaleidospace Group

Particular

## Kaleidospace Group

The Kaleidospace group adds 3D symmetry to a particle system.

**Mirror Mode Checkboxes**: Defines the symmetry axes.

- **Mirror on X**: Particles are symmetrical along the horizontal axis.
- **Mirror on Y**: Particles are symmetrical along the vertical axis.
- **Mirror on Z**: Particles are symmetrical along the z axis (depth).
- **Checking multiple axes**: By checking multiple mirror axis boxes, particles become symmetrical along two or more axes. For instance, by checking Mirror On X and Y, particles become symmetrical along the horizontal and vertical axes.

*From left to right, Mirror is Off, Mirror X, Mirror Y, Mirror Z with position z set to 500 pixels back, and Mirror X and Y.*

**Behavior pop-up**: Defines the symmetry operation.

- **Mirror and Remove**: Works like a regular kaleidospace, 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 nothing is discarded.

*Behavior is set to Mirror and Remove (left) and Mirror Everything (right).*

**Center Position** : Defines 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 Mirror on Z is selected).
