The **Flip Plane** command in RhinoArtisan is designed for workflows that involve symmetry, especially when mirroring gemstones from one half of a ring to the other. When gems are reflected, their construction plane orientation is also reversed. As a result, if cutters are applied to these mirrored stones, they will be created in the wrong direction.

To correct this, the **Flip Plane** command allows users to "flip" the construction plane of these reflected gems. By selecting the mirrored gemstones and activating the command, the cutters will be correctly aligned, ensuring proper orientation for further modifications or manufacturing processes.

This tool is particularly useful when working with symmetrical designs, helping to maintain accuracy and consistency in gemstone placement and cutter alignment.
