Question about mesh duplication

Why does everytime I duplicate a mesh it auto adds it to my sequence and places it at a random point in the level.

Hey @sybext100! Welcome to the forums!

That’s pretty odd. How are you duplicating your static mesh? Ctrl-D or a different method? Is it already open? And do you have your sequencer open?

Any additional specifics you provide may go a long way in solving your problem!

Hey, I’m doing ctrl + D. It automatically places it at a specific location other then on top of the original mesh. Also adds it to sequencer on some meshes but not all. Sequencer open or closed does the same thing.

Hey @sybext100!

That is some off behavior. Do you get the same result when you copy paste? (Ctrl + C → Ctrl + V)

I get a message that says. Attending to paste a binding that is already bound. Should the existing actor be duplicated for the pasted binding?

If I hit no it doesn’t duplicate. If I hit yes it adds it automatically to my sequencer which I don’t want.

Try; hold Alt key and drag the gizmo from the mesh. This should duplicate mesh and should not add to your sequence.
