It could be me, but I cannot create a unified mesh with the mirror tolls in workspace, but would like to be able to.

I am not sure what you mean by that... You are using the MM tool and you want to have a single mesh (not 2 1/2's). Or do you mean that the seam is not pulling together?


1) You can Flatten History and than the mesh will be 1 solid mesh

2) You can adjust the Offset and the weld distance to fill gaps in the 2 1/2's of the mesh


HTH

Flatten History is a kind of "all in one" tool now :)


Where you used to have "extract final SDS" and "extract final mirrored" now both items are handled by Flatten History.


This means you can actually keep things like the mirror tool, SDS, polygon definition and more in an active status, modifiable at all times, until you are happy with the final result. The history is the active state of this model contained on the stack.


Once happy, Flatten History will collapse everything down to a regular poly mesh.


HTH!

Ah, so Flatten history should work with extracting a poly reduced normal mapped mesh too then...


That was something I couldn't figure out in 7.1. Good info.
