I want to create a group of characters, all dancing in sync. I began by building one character and animating the dance steps. Now, I want to clone that character a dozen times and position the clones in a group.
When I right-click on the dancer’s root parent element and select “Clone Element”, though, it only clones that root element, but not any of its child elements. I have to go through each element in the hierarchy, clone it, and then rebuild the hierarchy with all the cloned elements. Now I have a second character repeating the dance, which I can reposition. But, that was a pretty complicated set of steps for just cloning one character. Then, I have to do it 11 more times.
Is there an easier way to do this?
