Copy & Paste an Item

This feature can be used to create a new instance of an existing item in the scene. Items pasted into the scene tree are saved automatically and all users viewing the scene will see the updated scene tree.

1. Open a model in Publishing mode.
2. In the scene tree, right-click on the item you want to copy to open the context menu.
3. Select Copy > Item in the menu.
   1. Note that if you do not have the Publish context menu enabled in your User Settings, then the Copy menu option will be located in the Modify fly-out menu.
4. In the scene tree, right-click on the item you want to paste onto in order to open the context menu. The item you right-click on will become the parent of the pasted item.
5. Select Paste > Items in the menu.
   1. Note that if you do not have the Publish context menu enabled in your User Settings, then the Paste menu option will be located in the Modify fly-out menu.

Note: You can control whether the pasted item should inherit the copied item’s transform by toggling the Maintain World Transforms on Copy + Paste setting in your User Settings.
