Advanced Duplicate

Advanced Duplicate creates multiple copies of the selected object or objects while applying translation, rotation, and scaling.

This is useful when you want to build repeating structures with controlled variation.

1. Select the object or objects you want to duplicate.
2. Choose Object > Duplicate > Advanced Duplicate.
3. In the dialog, set the duplication options.
4. Click Preview to preview the result, or click OK to create the duplicates.
