It seemed to work well when I was just mirroring one axis (Y)... I had multiple brushes selected & mirrored together.

list of steps I perform for making a mirroring brush
1. Select a brush
2. Determine what axis to mirror (x,y, or z)
3. Move pivot to world origin depending on what axis you want (x,y, or z).
Ex. If I need it to mirror on x axis. I'll move the brush's pivot on the x axis to 0.
4. Duplicate brush
5. Apply a -1 scale with the predetermine axis (x,y, or z).
Ex. I'll use a -1 on x axis.
This applies if your model is located on the world origin (0,0,0) and you want to duplicate a brush from x to -x or y to -y or z to -z.
This would be a great tool if someone or I create one. The process that I'm currently doing is very time consuming. Even when you have a 20-30 separate brushes to mirror :(
If there's a way that you can take a group brushes and move the pivot. But you can't move the pivot with multiple brushes selected. :(

I was trying to figure out how to make my own mirror tool, but I'm a noob at coding, maybe someone out there can code something.list of steps I perform for making a mirroring brush
