Is there a way to "bake" mirrored groom operations? Here I drew guides with mirror X on, planted to fill them out, then did a little sculpting. Now I have a problem if I want to break symmetry during sculpting. Turning off mirror deletes the entire mirrored half. I thought maybe chaining another guide groom would work, but somehow it's still treating the incoming guides as mirrored. The only solution I found is saving the groom to disk then starting up fresh on it, which is annoying.

there is a group on guides called __mirror__ which probably shouldnt be output from Guide Groom SOP

but for now you can just append Group Delete and delete it before adding new Guide Groom

Great, thanks!
