Smart Duplication

Smart Duplication provides enhanced versions of the built-in Duplicate and Delete operators, extended with context-aware capabilities to ease multi-object and modifier based workflows.

The operator duplicates the selected objects and, optionally:

• Duplicates the modifiers that refer to them.
• Duplicates the objects referenced by their modifiers.
• Duplicates their children.
• Adds the new objects to the same collections as the originals.

The operator deletes selected objects, and, optionally:

• Deletes the modifiers that refer to them.
• Deletes the objects referenced by their modifiers.
• Deletes their children.
• Removes them from the collections they were part of.

• The operator selects objects referenced in modifiers by the current selection or the ones referencing the current selection in their modifiers.
• Smart Duplication supports every modifier type that references other objects.
