This tool is useful for duplicating objects that you have spent considerable time modeling.
Overview
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.
Using Duplicate
At the Scene level:
- 
        Select the object(s) you want to duplicate. 
- 
        Click the Duplicate tool on the Modify tab. 
At the Geometry level:
- 
        Select the curves and/or surfaces you want to duplicate. 
- 
        Click the Duplicate tool on the Modify tab. 
Note
Duplicated geometry will appear directly on top of existing geometry.

For specific parameter help see the Duplicate node help.
