Sorry we seem to have missed this question.

The issue for using the mirror modifier is the object is a linked duplicate. As Grant mentions, but does not go into further explanation. Mirror modifiers work on Objects. To use one on the modular wall section you would have to add one to every duplicate. However changing the mesh is an edit mode action, which is what the linked duplication is copying. Therefor doing it once in edit mode changes every duplicate.

Yes, strange behavior this question. It pops up after 14 days.

Mirror modifier works on an object and duplicates the mesh over one, two or three axis.
