Element multiplying
While working around with objects I found myself wanting to duplicate elements a lot.
Since we don't have a tool for material instances, or object instance, in order to have a tree with green leaves and a tree with yellow laves (for example) having the same tree object, it would be very useful if I could duplicate an object (element) in the editor. I know there are ways to work around this, at the moment i just import the original object twice, but after the original is deleted this is quite a problem.

So I want to be able to take an object and duplicate it. (in order to work on it's copy and obtain a just slightly different object).

I'm pretty sure this feature is easy to add, so could you please do this for some future release?

Great smile That will come in handy!
(is there anyway we can know when a new release is available without re-downloading the source every time?)

The editor notifies you when update is available.
And I post about it here http://www.esenthel.com/community/forumd....php?fid=8

RE: Element multiplying
Thanks a lot for taking into consideration my suggestion. It is already helping me out A LOT, but I'll dare ask for more.

Could you enhance the duplicate function such that it duplicates an element with all its sub-elements too? I wanted to use this feature to keep backups for my application, but apparently i have to duplicate every single code element separately, not only the application containing them.
