Select Mirror
Reference
- Mode
Edit Mode
- Menu
- Shortcut
Shift-Ctrl-M
Select Mirror flips a selection to the opposite side of the mesh.
- Axis
Choose on which axis the selection will occur. The axis is based on the meshes origin. Therefore, if the origin is not centered within the mesh, the selection will have varying results.
- Extend
The new selection will include the mirrored selection as well as the original.

Tips
With Extend activated, hold Shift while choosing an axis to include more than one axis in the selection. Otherwise, with Extend off, the mirror will take into account two to three axes.
