I need to add to my snowflake wall, but I don't see a way to duplicate models like there was in the old models screen? Is it somewhere that I just haven't found yet?

Copy/Paste
Select model, hit ctrl-c, then start hitting ctrl-v as many times as you need.
-
Yes its there. Try using the normal keyboard copy/paste shortcuts for the OS you are on. We've had a lot of users asking this question. I thought it would be intuitive to try the keyboard but I guess not.
-
Ok, I got it to work. If I click on the model in the layout, copy and paste works. If I click on the model in the list box on the left side (which is what I was trying when I posted this), copy and paste doesn't work.
-
Yeah I'd like to be able to right-click the list to do the copy/paste. I can see where you might not think to click over on the actual model in the picture.
-
I don't know why I didn't think to try it in the layout sooner. I had been changing properties on a number of models, I guess I was just used to working on the left side of the window.
-
I think users were used to using the model dialogue previously to do things to the model.
In fact when I was updating the latest manual , I did not realise u could right click on the model in the layout. So I deleted all references to node layouts.
Then I saw a post and had to update and put it back. :)
The new way is great .

At work I do find that lots of the younger users don't know about keyboard shortcuts like CTRL-C and CTRL-V. They use icons for everything.
