BASICS

CHAPTER 1 "BASICS" 11 2.6.2 Creating a clone Command to create one or more exact copies of physical and/or mathematical data. Select the command and then make the selection of the objects you want to copy with . Then press the right mouse button to indicate the end of the selection and select a feature point (line end, pillar top, beam end, etc.) and finally set the new point for copying the objects. NOTE : This command differs from copying because it can also be used for mathematical elements, creating "clones", i.e. elements with the same, not only geometric, but also inertial characteristics. 2.6.3 Group transfer Command to perform a parallel transfer of one or more objects at the same time. Objects can only be selected with a window or polygon. Objects enclosed in the window are dragged, while objects intersected by the window are "dragged" and the part outside the window remains fixed. All elements including those of the mathematical model are included in the transfer and pulling. Select the command and objects and use the relative or absolute coordinates to set the move. EXAMPLE In the grid you see in the picture, the first leftmost vertical column of nodes will be moved to a relative distance of 500 cm from their current position. Select the command and then use a window to select the leftmost vertical column of the canvas. Notice how the window encloses the nodes that will be moved and intersects the rods that will be "pulled" i.e. their end that is outside the window will remain in place and will be moved along with the node the edge contained within the window while remaining connected to the node.
