Duplication Techniques

Duplication saves time and ensures consistency.

Basic Duplicate

1. Select an object
2. Press Shift+D or use toolbar
3. Copy appears, slightly offset
4. Move to desired position

Strategic Duplication

For Symmetrical Parts

• Create one leg, duplicate 4 times
• Position each precisely
• Ensures identical parts

For Patterns

• Create one element
• Duplicate and position
• Repeat for pattern

Duplicate Workflow

1. Perfect the original
2. Name it clearly (e.g., "Leg_Template")
3. Duplicate
4. Rename copy (e.g., "Leg_1")
5. Position
6. Repeat

Pro Tips

• Get the original right first

• Use consistent naming

• Consider grouping

Quick Math for Positioning

If you have 4 identical legs at corners of 4×4 area:

• Leg at X=2, Z=2


• Leg at X=-2, Z=2


• Leg at X=2, Z=-2


• Leg at X=-2, Z=-2
