    Symmetrically Opposite Details?!?!?!?

    So I've gotten a CATProd that has obvious RH and LH details that are sym. opposite. But there is no symmetry applied in the tree anywhere. My question is, how was it done. The CATParts have the same name, but are opposite. You have one and the other changes. I cannot figure it out.
