This is odd but my copy/paste seems not working!

in Bryce Discussion

Up to yesterday and before I never had problems with the copy/paste.  But today when I try to copy a tree to paste it next to it to have a 2nd tree, it doesn't do a thing.  Normally the single 'red' wireframe object turns slightly lighter when the copy/paste is used, but it stay bright red and when I try to move the object (the copy) to it's new location the original object moves and no copy of it appears.  Cnrl C also doesn't work.  I am in view top view (looking down on to the scene) and the object zoomed in. I had even closed Bryce and reopen the scene but still not working.

Are there any other ways to copy/paste an object?

    Thank you Tim, it works perfectly. It's even quicker than to copy and paste via the dropdown menu! smiley

    Much more interesting way of cloning for mesh objects: Ctrl + I, then Alt + I for the following cloning.
    Thus, you achieve two things:
    a) saving memory,
    b) saving the file size.
