    SMART OBJECT DUPLICATION

                     Patterns  or shapes  with repeating  elements  become  tedious  if done  manually. In  Tinkercad,
                     the Duplicate shortcut key features a function called smart duplication that simplifies this task.
                     Smart duplicate acts like a temporary memory, remembering your last action and automatically
                     applying it to any subsequent duplications.

                     To Perform Smart Duplication, follow these steps:
                     Step  1   Select the object you want to duplicate.

                     Step  2   Press Ctrl + D to create a duplicate of the selected object.
                     Step  3   Move the duplicated object to the desired position.

                     Step  4   Press  Ctrl + D again  to  create

                               another  duplicate,  which  follows
                               the same movement pattern.
                     Step  5   Repeat Ctrl + D multiple times to
                               generate  additional  copies  with
                               the same offset.

                                                                                             Tinkercad – An Introduction  161
