Maya 2009 - Mirror tool

Tool Tip - Mirroring from the old school from JohnSka7 on Vimeo.


Just got Maya 2009, started playing round with its modeling tools, some really handy time saving alterations like the interactive merge vertices tool but there are a couple of things i cant get my head around; namingly the mirror geometry tool. Seems quite simple enough, you select the geometry you want to mirror over, select the axis and hit mirror. The thing that doesn't seem to be working for me is the merge (or dont merge) with the original box. Even when its unchecked it merges. No good if you want to mirror geometry with an offset. There must be a simple explanation, probably residing in the extensive options in maya, but for now this seems to be an acceptable solution. Will keep dredging the internet for a solution as i'm sure i'm not the only one to have this issue.
