Hierarchy

Specifies whether or not the copy shares the same parent as the original. You can also set the copied object to have no parent, or set a new null as its parent.

History

Choose Copy to give the duplicated object the same operator history as its original.

Choose Current to give the duplicated object no operator history.

Property Sets

Choose Copy to give the duplicated object the same properties as its original.

Choose Ignore to apply a default set of properties to the duplicated object.

Animation

Controls whether animation is copied when duplicating elements.

• Copy animation and share mixer sources copies the animation (fcurves, expressions, constraints, clips) from the original to the duplicate. When duplicating an entire model, the mixer sources are shared.

• Copy animation and copy mixer sources copies the animation (fcurves, expressions, constraints, clips) from the original to the duplicate. When duplicating an entire model, the mixer sources are duplicated as well.

• Ignore does not apply any animation to the duplicate.

Constraints

Choose Copy & Share Input to apply the same constraints acted upon the original to the duplicated object.

Choose Ignore to apply no constraints to the duplicated object.

Texture Supports

Controls whether and how texture supports are copied when duplicating textured elements.

• Only if Selected duplicates the texture support only if it was selected along with the original object(s). If the texture support is not selected, the duplicate object shares the original object’s texture support.

• Always duplicate duplicates the original object’s texture support whether the support is selected or not. The duplicate support appears in the same position in the duplicate object’s hierarchy as the original support appears in the original object’s hierarchy.

• Always share does not duplicate the original object’s texture support. Rather, the duplicate object(s) share the original object’s support.

• Freeze projections duplicates the original object, but freezes the texture projection (and geometry) of the duplicates. As a result, no duplicate texture support appears.

Selection

Specifies which objects are selected once the duplication operation is complete. You can specify that only the original is selected, only the copies are selected, or both.

Track Placement

Switches on or off the object placement option.

Placement

Sets the method of placement of the copies. Choose Same Global Xform to place the copies directly over the original. Choose Apply/Repeat Xform to place the copies in a position equal in value to the latest transformation of the original object.

X/Y/Z

The incremental scaling values of copies.

X/Y/Z

The incremental rotations of copies, in degrees.

X/Y/Z

The incremental rotations of copies, in Softimage units.
