node_type  00dcd3a8    

Copying an object creates an independent object that has a relation to the original. Objects can be copied individually or via selection set.

The result of copying is an object group in which all objects affected by the action (both the original and their copies) are grouped together. This group can be accessed subsequently, for example for further copying.

The result object group gets the default name res_of_copy.<unique number>, if the parameter name_grp (name of result group) is not explicitly specified. If the original object has a name, the copy gets also a name:
<name of original><name extention>.<index>
The default extension is "_c",
Index is the number of copies.

Example:
"james_c.4" is the 4th copy of the object named "james".

Attention: Names of copies should not be changed because when creating new copies, the names of the originals are used to assign names to the copies. If you would rename "james_c.4" in the example above to "joe", "joe" would get the name "james_c.4" again when recalculating the copy action.

Any change of the original parameters (not properties such as Z values etc.) also changes the parameters of the copy.

All parameters of the action can be changed at any time. These parameters include the following:

Special cases:
If the vector contains a mirror part the following object types cannot be copied:
