How to duplicate a model or layer
Navigate to the item that you want to duplicate in the Uploads tab of the Layer Manager. 💡Tip: right-click on any layer to quickly find an item in the panel, read how.
In the three-dot menu select the option to "Duplicate".
When you create a duplicate, it will be:
be offset from the current position of the "parent file";
be in the active "Reposition mode" ready to move;
retain the Timeline properties of the parent file;
not be linked to the Schedule (if the parent file was); and
saved to the same folder as the parent file
