How to duplicate a 3D item in the database changing only item code and finishing

Start by selecting the 3D item to duplicate in the components window and click on the "Copy" button in the top menu bar.

In the pop-up window that appears, you can insert the new product code, and change the description and/or the other data regarding the 3D item. Be aware that it is necessary to change at least the product code, the manufacturer, or the color variant to avoid duplication errors. 

In this phase, it is not yet possible to change the associated finishing.

Click on "Ok" to confirm the addition of this item into the archive. 

If you want to change the finishing associated with the item you just copied, double click on the item from the Compenents window and then click "Modify".

Select the class of the item to which you want to associate a different material. To distinguish between the classes that subdivide the element, click on show "selected class".  

Type the name of the desired material. Alternatively, you can select from the database by clicking on the "Material" button and searching the database.

Confirm your change by clicking on the "Set" button.
