Duplicating Items
Often, it's the details that make objects compelling, and Modo's toolbox helps you focus on details when needed. By providing a variety of cloning and array tools, Modo makes it easy for you to produce multitudes of seemingly complex forms from basic geometry. With the Radial Sweep and Bridge tools you can extend and shape a surface very quickly. Extrusions provide a diverse set of options for generating and extending existing geometry, and therefore, you can take something simple and make it complex. For information on using a specific tool, click a link below to see that tool's topic.
Duplicate |

---|---|---|
|
Creates geometry by revolving the selection around a central point. |
|
|
Extrudes a geometry selection along the length of a curve. |
|
|
Extrudes selected polygons by drawing in the viewport. |
|
|
Extrudes a geometry selection along the length of a Bezier curve. |
|
|
Extrudes a geometry selection along the length of a pen path where each knot creates a new segment. |
|
|
Extrudes a geometry selection along the B-Spline curve. |
|
|
Clones geometry by clicking down control points for a curve. |
|
Open Curve Offset | Copies an existing curve(s) and positions it parallel to the existing curve at a specified offset value. | |
Closed Curve Offset | Copies an existing curve(s), positions it at a specified offset value, and joins them together. | |
|
Duplicates an object along a Bezier path a user-defined number of times. |
|
|
Creates linear paths that have perfectly straight line segments between each user-defined point. |
|
|
Generates a random point cloud onto which Modo places clones of the original geometry. |
|
|
Creates duplicates of the currently selected geometry based on a specified linear offset. |
|
|
Produces ordered duplicates of a mesh by cloning a source element into a grid-like pattern. |
|
|
Clones any selected geometry recursively into a circular or helical pattern. |
|
|
Create a duplicate of the selected geometry in the active layer. |
|
|
Allows you to directly apply one mesh layer onto the surface of another. |
|
|
Creates polygons to span the area between selected edges or polygons. |
|
|
Add copies of any geometry currently in the Clipboard. |
|
|
Duplicate, Duplicate Hierarchy, Duplicate Options, and Instance commands. |
|
Procedural Duplicate |
||
|
Fills closed, non-intersecting curves with quadrangles. |
|
|
Uses a curve to build a new, similar curve but with a different amount of points. |
|
|
Uses an existing polyline to provide a path for other tools to walk and evaluate. |
|
|
Offers a series of ready-made profiles, which are different 2D curve styles that can be used to generate new geometry. |
|
|
Draws geometry along a curve or line that is generated by tools such as the Pen Generator or Path Generator. |
|
|
Draws a tube along the path of a curve. |
|
|
Procedural mesh operation that deletes half of the mesh and mirrors the opposite half in its place. |
