genesis male (female) hair parted wrong side

in Daz Studio Discussion

Ok as dumb questions go this might win an award.

In general, I am modelling a real person in DAZ, everything is great, even found hair that looks exact.

(Will not mention product, question is for all in general)

The hair is parted on the right side (product).

The person parts on left, it is throwing the entire image off.

Is there any way to mirror the hair ( know that I can take the image in photoshop and flip but it still does not look right)

Thank you

    this might work but it's really weird when applied to hair.
    ---
    I loaded a characer ... put hair on it.
    ---
    scale to minus 100% 
    this will reverse everything
    the character will need to be X rotated to put in back on top of the grid 
    ---
    but you will have a duplicate reversed hair..
    you can then delete the character and keep the hair, but I think if you "fit" it to your original character it reverts to the default  .. so you'll have to manually place it and then parent in place.

    never mind ... that's the hard way....
    just load the hair in...
    and set the X scale to -100

    but I think autofitting the hair will override back to the original.

    will try thanks!!!

    OK!!! worked but....

    When you scale to -100 positioning changes to below the floor ( it basicaly disappeared)

    But good fortune shined its light on me.

    The new Zbrush 4.8 has a Gizmo that enables you to position items very accurately relative to figure (morphs)

    Thank you very much for the sugestion

    You need to set the scale to -100 for X axis only, not the overall scale.

    Do not upload images here, but wanted to show why I thought important.

    This is a very preliminary test but.....hair part vital.

    Thank you

    as I noted in my second post above.. yep just the x scale is all you need.. 
    I actually originally started doing this when I had cars set up for drivers on the right  and wanted them to drive from the left and it was easier than tearing the model apart and moving the steering wheei.

    Followup,,,all is well, scaling did the trick.

    However to followup on the suggestions, 4 hair props in a row only have scale global, not x y z?????
