      Hello,

      I hope this is not too off the wall. There is a method commonly in use in making tutorials within a SU file. Can a ruby be made like this?

      User selects object and initiates Ruby.

      1. creates a scene of the current view.
      2. duplicates selected objects.
      3. moves duplicate sufficient distance along an axis, based on view and object set size.
      4. creates a camera view similar to the first scene in relation to the new objects.
      5. Some option must be presented for the last scene so that a needless duplication isn't created.
