I don’t want the duplicates to have shared settings/material. This is a problem I’ve faced from the beginning using Maya, and it remains a mystery how I even got so far without disabling this. A related flaw is too, when I’m trying to change the visibility of a polygon sphere, the process leaves a none-seethrough stripe too the side of the sphere shape. Kudos for everyone giving any type of answer to to my Q, but only FHRITP-answers will not get Kudos
