The copy tool, located in the Layout workspace on the left of the viewport, lets you duplicate a model with the option to auto arrange the duplicated models
Click on the tool icon to show the option panel or ALT + D on your keyboard to duplicate once the current selection.
The copy tool offers you a few options:
- Number of copies: Input the number of extra copies you want.
- Auto arrange: Let the slicer arrange the model after the copy process.
- Keep arrangement: By default, the copy will be placed at the center of the build plate. With this option, the copies will be placed on top of the original model.
Tips:
When you copy a model, all the information will be copied:
- Name
- Orientation
- Scale
- Supports
- Bracing
- Raft
- Hollowing
- Hollow blockers
- Vent holes
- Notes
- …
The copy can be a slow process if your model has many supports or a high polycount. You can instead save the model as a .lyt/.lys file and import it multiple times in the scene to quickly duplicate the model. In some cases, it’s faster.
