The Clone tool creates duplicates of the currently selected geometry in a linear offset determined by user input. You can find Clone in the Duplicate tab of the Modo toolbar on the left side of the screen, or in the menu bar, by choosing Geometry > Duplicate > Clone. The tool is controlled by the following settings.

Description |
|---|---|
|
Number of Clones |
Determines the number of copies of the original geometry to be created. |
|
Offset XYZ |
Determines how far each clone is from the previous. Setting this value to 1 meter places each successive cloned object 1 meter away from the previous clone or the original geometry in the case of the first clone. |
|
Scale XYZ |
Controls the relative size of each clone to the one before it. Setting the value to 50% would force each clone to be half the size of the previous. |
|
Rotate XYZ |
Sets a rotational value in degrees for each of the three axes. This rotation amount is applied to each clone. This can be very useful for creating objects such as spiral staircases and so forth. |
|
Replace Source |
Deletes the original geometry and replaces it with a copy of the geometry made by the tool. This can be very useful when using scale and rotation values. |
