Which statement best describes the Clone Options dialog box in 3ds Max?

• A. It manages cloning for animation
• B. It duplicates objects when moved
• C. It copies transforms from the source to the clone
• D. It appears when you shift-drag with the Select and Move tool to specify cloning options

Answer: (D)

Cloning in 3ds Max is configured at the moment you create duplicates. When you start a clone by Shift-dragging with the Select and Move tool, the Clone Options dialog pops up so you can tailor the cloning operation. It lets you decide how many copies to make and what kind of relationship each copy has to the source—copy (independent), instance (sharing geometry and transforms), or reference (a lighter link). You can also set the offset and other cloning parameters for that action. This is why the option describing the dialog appearing during the Shift-drag clone action is the best fit.
