In DR, any way to duplicate models with scaling?

[Geep]

One of the things I left unresolved when I wrote up the wiki entry for Model Scaling, is how to make duplicates.

If you just hit the space key, it creates a new unscaled object, which is really not what you want. I just recalled this problem again, when I was set to make a dozen scaled items that I wanted to be identical in size. I don't know if there's a workaround.

Yeah, I can confirm that but I think I although noticed that sometimes hitting the space key actually creates a duplicate.

Workaround: save the resized model as new model in the mission's model folder.

Hmmm, intermitant behavior, everyone's favorite. Good workaround, tho... I'll add it to my list of things to wikify, if no DR fix gets queued up.

If you can describe the scenario well in a bug tracker entry, I can look into the duplicate behaviour some time.

I'll do that now.... done

Another workaround for this (which could also help identifying the cause of the bug), is to close and reopen DarkRadiant before duplicating scaled models.
