To Move and Copy Modifiers

Everything on the stack is, in logical terms, an object, which means that you can move and copy modifiers as necessary to suit your purposes. For example, you could use two different Twist modifiers to apply complex deformation to an object that would be impossible with only one. Or, because modifiers are applied sequentially, you could change the order of modifiers on the stack to experiment with the results.

Move one or more modifiers:

  1. To move a single modifier, simply drag it to a new location in the stack. Otherwise:
  2. Select one or more modifiers in the modifier stack display.

    To select multiple modifiers, click to select one modifier, then hold down Ctrl and click to select the others. Holding down Shift selects the two modifiers you click and all modifiers in between them.

  3. Right-click and choose Cut.
  4. Select a modifier above which to paste the cut modifiers. This can also be the object at the bottom of the stack.
  5. Right-click and choose Paste. The modifiers are pasted above the current selection.

Copy one or more modifiers:

  1. Select one or more modifiers in the modifier stack display.

    To select multiple modifiers, click to select one modifier, then hold down Ctrl and click to select the others. Holding down Shift selects the two modifiers you click and all modifiers in between them.

  2. To copy multiple selected modifiers, Shift+drag them to the new location. Otherwise:
  3. Right-click and choose Copy.
  4. Select an item above which to paste the cut modifiers.
  5. Right-click and choose Paste. The copied modifiers are pasted above the current selection. Choose Paste Instanced to make the pasted modifiers instances of those you copied.

Copy modifiers from one object to another:

  1. Select one or more modifiers in the modifier stack display of the first object.

    To select multiple modifiers, click to select one modifier, then hold down Ctrl and click to select the others. Holding down Shift selects the two modifiers you click and all modifiers in between them.

  2. Right-click and choose Copy.
  3. Select the second object.
  4. In the second object's modifier stack display, select an item above which to paste the copied modifiers.
  5. Right-click and choose Paste.

    The modifiers from the first object are pasted above the current selection in the second object. Choose Paste Instanced to make the pasted modifiers instances of those you copied.
