Cloning items and descendants
Is there a quick way to clone an item as well as all its descendants without having to then re-parent items afterwards?
ie. Box(1) |____ball(1) |_____spring(1) is there a way to clone all of the above, so that I can then also have this... Box(2) |____ball(2) |_____spring(2) I've successfully managed to clone all the items at once, and they get the added number, but they are never parented. Thanks! |

Yep - Look in the Scene/Generic menu for the 'Clone Heirarchy' plugin. This should do the trick - simply select the base layer you want to clone and all its decendents will also be cloned and parented.
