Hi, Gang~

I am a member of CGCookie and I am currently following a tutorial on modeling a Greek temple. In the tutorial, the instructor makes reference to "dupe faces" and I have been unable to find out what he is talking about. In the tutorial, for example, he uses dupe faces to lay down a set of roof tiles. He also used it for other parts of the tutorial for making a lot of duplications of columns and triglyphs. I've searched the wikis and Blender documentation but find no reference to dupe faces. It is causing me some serious agonizing because I am at the point of finishing the project and I am ready to start laying the roof tiles. I have watched this portion of the video about 30 or 40 times trying to decipher what he is doing, and I am at a loss. He talks rather fast and opens a lot of dialog boxes which he fails to explain why he is doing so. I realize they have a time restraint on these tutorials, but this is just ridiculous. It is my biggest complaint w/ CGCookie. (Or is it just my lack of skills and my senility?:D) If anyone has a clue and can steer me right, I would be most appreciative...

TIA

C~
