To produce complete non-parametric copies of the objects use Simple Copy, Transformed Copy, or RefineShape

Usage

1. Select a vertex, edge, or face of an object for which you wish to make a copy.
2. Go to the menu Part → Create a copy → Create shape element copy.

Properties

Data

The copy has a simple DataPlacement property like any other Part Feature.

Scripting

The following Part ElementCopy command can be applied after selecting one or more objects in the Tree view :

The selection could be manual (by using the mouse), or via the Python Console.
