This tool is useful for duplicating objects that you have spent considerable time modeling.

Duplicate works at both the Scene and Geometry levels.

• At the Scene level, the duplicate tool creates new copies of the selected objects. Each duplicate is stored in its own geometry object.

• At the Geometry level, the tool creates a Duplicate surface node which copies the selected geometry and places the result in a single geometry object.

In both cases, you can use the transform handle to position the copies in the scene as desired.

At the Scene level:

1. Select the object(s) you want to duplicate.

2. Click the Duplicate tool on the Modify tab.

At the Geometry level:

1. Select the curves and/or surfaces you want to duplicate.

2. Click the Duplicate tool on the Modify tab.
