    I have an app that would require cloning an object a user-defined number of times, and offsetting those clones a specified amount. So far so good.

    But what if they decide to change the number? How do I reference the cloned objects to delete them and start over? They are named, but how do I select them during runtime?

    I don’t want to reload the model, because other things may have been cloned and offset as well, and I’d have to reconstruct the whole thing from scratch. Possible but clunky and slow.

    Hi John,

    When cloning objects, you can put them in a list at the same time.
    So you’ll be able to delete them with remove in bulk.
