# Orbital Copy

- Object
- Shift

Indicate here the number of orbital copies to create and its destination.

Gamgi expects users to identify first the orbital or list of orbitals to copy. When the Orbital entry is active and empty, clicking the mouse over an orbital, on the current layer (local selection), its identification is transported to the Orbital entry. Pressing the List button, the current list of orbitals is selected instead.

### Name

This is the name given to the new orbital copies. The default is to copy the name of each original orbital.

### Number

This is the requested number of copies, a positive integer. The default is 1.

### Layer

After identifying the orbital or list of orbitals to copy, GAMGI expects users to identify a layer to where the orbitals should be copied. Pressing the mouse over the graphic area in any window (global selection), creates a menu with all the layers in that window, which can then be selected. The current layer is initially proposed in the Layer entry.

When copying a list of orbitals, the copies can also be created at the layer of each original orbital, by setting Layer to Local.
