Mesh Duplication

Updated: 05/19/2022

Duplicating a mesh immediately creates an ArtMesh that can be assigned to an object with symmetrical left-right or top-bottom geometry.
These procedures are described here.

Mesh Duplication

Copying a mesh

Select the ArtMesh and copy it by clicking [Ctrl] + [C] or [Copy] in the right-click menu.

Pasting a mesh

Select the ArtMesh to be pasted and switch to [Mesh Edit mode].

Delete all previously assigned meshes using the [Lasso Tool], the [Delete Vertices Tool], or the [Eraser Tool].

Press [Ctrl] + [V] to paste the copied mesh.
This procedure does not allow pasting from the [right-click menu], so please use shortcut keys.

Inverting a mesh

Right-click, select the format for the inversion, and apply the inversion.

Exit Mesh Edit mode when you are done making corrections.

Tips

About edges when copying and pasting:
If you delete the edge of an ArtMesh and copy a vertex, it will be pasted in that state.

Tips

To create a symmetrical model, the mesh can be inverted using the “Flip Along Axis” option in Mirror Edit.
When editing a mirror, right-click on the pasted mesh to display a menu.

See the “Mirror Edit” section of the “Edit Mesh Manually” page for more information.

On Duplicating Partial Vertices of a Mesh

Partial vertices can be copied and pasted using the same procedure as for mesh duplication.
This function is useful when you want to set up glue.

Copy:
In [Mesh Edit mode], select multiple vertices in the area to be duplicated and press [Ctrl] + [C] to copy them.
Note: Use shortcut keys.

Paste:
Select the ArtMesh to be pasted and switch to [Mesh Edit mode].

Press [Ctrl] + [V] to paste the copied mesh.
Only partially copied vertices were pasted in their original locations.
Note: Use shortcut keys.

Cut:
You can also use [Ctrl] + [X] to cut.
Note: Use shortcut keys.
