Description

This macro creates a copy of a selected object or sub-object (include in FreeCAD since version 0.19: Part SimpleCopy).

ReproWire

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
