With your first column in position, you can now create a copy of the column
and position it on the adjacent corner of the base.
To create a duplicate copy of the column
1 With Column still selected in the Hypergraph, select Edit > Duplicate
Special >
from the main menu.
The Duplicate Special Options window appears.
2 In the Duplicate Special Options window, select Edit > Reset Settings and
then set the following options:
Number of Copies: 1
Leave the other options at their default settings.
3 In the Duplicate Special Options window, click Duplicate Special.
The Hypergraph view updates to show an additional column object in
the scene. The copy also takes on the prefix name of the original group
and is now labelled Column1.
In the scene view it appears that nothing was actually duplicated. When
an object is duplicated without any transformations the copy is positioned
in the same position as the original. The two objects are on top of each
other.
You need to move the column into position on the adjacent corner of the
temple base.
To move the duplicate column into position on the base
1 In the Hypergraph, ensure Column1 is selected by clicking on its top node
so it becomes selected in the scene view.
2 In the scene view, use the Move Tool to position Column1 on the adjacent
corner of the temple base as shown below.
