Mirror modifier dissappears on edit mode?
So basically the title, I'm trying to use the mirror modifier and the mirrored part doesnt show up (already tried the XYZ checkboxes) on EDIT mode, but when I go to Object mode (press tab again) it does show up, on the X axis. Help?

maybe your origin of the object is messed up,
the mirror modifier use the position of your origin to mirror the object.

in object mode in the "T" panel on the left the Tools tab u can change origen, u probaly have to change it to the 3d curser, first place the 3d curser on the right spot by going into edit mode select the verts were to weldline going to be of the mirror object then press "Shift S" Cursur to selected, back to object mode and "Shift+Ctrl+Alt+C" Origin to 3d cursor.

weird the option to make it visible in edit mode is checked (next to the eye, the 3th icon) so it would need to show up, i have no clue what causes this atm, u might try to check the 4th icon see what happens (adjust edit cage).

only offtopic tip i can give is to use Clipping

I think these single edges added with mirror modifier are not visible in solid shading in edit mode. In object mode they are, because whole object with modifiers is outlined.
I was really confused about this a few years ago and couldn't find any answer, but than I switched to wireframe and saw it there. So Blender simply shows only faces added through mirror in edit mode, no edges or verts :)

Maybe little late, but I thought I would add my point of view to this since I was confused with this "not really problem" in past too.

also edges could be visible if you change in Properties window > Object tab > Display > Maximum draw type - to Wireframe, but you would also see only wireframe :D
