Duplicate, copy or delete selected objects

Delete objects

1. Select an object.
2. Press the Delete key, or select Edit > Delete.

   To un-delete objects, click over them in the Organizer window.

   Keep track of hidden and deleted objects in the Organizer

Copy, cut, and paste objects

• To copy (duplicate) objects, select Edit > Duplicate.
• To delete objects, press the Delete key, or select Edit > Delete.

Duplicate objects

1. Select an object.
2. Select Edit > Duplicate.

   The duplicated object appears on top of the original object. Press H to use the transform handle to move it away.

   NoteIf you plan to re-import a model you’ve duplicated, use the Organizer to first delete its duplicate geometry.

Multiple duplications with transformation (Smart Duplicate)

1. Select an object.
2. Select Edit > Duplicate.

   The first duplicated object appears on top of the original object. Press H to use the transform handle to alter the position, rotation, or scale of the duplicate.

3. Select Edit > Duplicate again. The object will be duplicated a second time and the previous transform repeated on the second duplicate.

   Repeating duplications with transformations is an easy way to equally space copies of an object, or create patterns of objects in the scene.

Undo your actions

You can undo your actions at any time. Press Ctrl+Z, or select Edit > Undo.
