# Orbital Copy

- Object
- Shift

Set here the translation vector applied to each new orbital.

By default, each copied orbital has the same coordinates as the original orbital. This is expected when copying an orbital or a list of orbitals to a different layer. However, when each new orbital is in the same layer as the original orbital (for a list of orbitals, the Local option in the Layer menu), a small shift helps to separate the new orbitals from the original ones.

All other properties are the same for copied and original orbitals (only the identification numbers are different).
