Description

This macro create on duplicate to wire, face, object or subObject ... selected. (include in FreeCAD since 0.19 version : Menu → Part → Create a copy)

Usage

Select your object and run the macro for create your copy, you can extrude created faces.

The copies are coloured red and renamed with the Shapexxx + original names
