With Realize Shape open and a part prepared, users can see their cages and cage faces. The Copy Cage feature itself can be found under the “Home” tab within the “Create” group. In case a user doesn’t see the Copy Cage feature within the Create group, select on the arrow in the bottom right of the group. Within the dropdown menu that appears, make sure that Copy Cage is checked on.
To use Copy Cage, first select a face or polyline. Users can select as many faces or polylines as they want. The faces selected will highlight automatically.
Once a user has selected their faces, they can move the cage manipulator in the direction in which they want to place their copy.
If during this process a user decides to have additional copies of their cage, simply increase the number of copies displayed in the Copy Cage window. These new copies will appear equidistant from the first in the direction in which you’ve dragged the first copy.
