## Feature request
Add a symmetry/mirror tool that duplicates placements across an axis.
Use cases:
- Ship designs are often symmetrical (left/right mirror)
- Saves time when building balanced layouts
- Common feature in CAD/design tools
Possible implementations:
- Toggle symmetry mode (vertical axis, horizontal axis, or both)
- Show a guide line indicating the mirror axis
- When placing a structure, automatically place its mirror counterpart
- Option to mirror existing selection
Current state:
- No symmetry feature exists
- Users must manually place mirrored structures
Complexity:
- Need to handle structures that aren't symmetrical (rotation matters)
- Need to define where the axis is (center of grid? user-defined?)
- May need to prevent collisions on the mirrored side
