can you specify more details on what exactly are you trying to do?

Create\Copy creates a copy of an object.

You can copy a fragment of an object using Modify\Submesh\Detach tool with "Keep original" option toggled. The copies fragment can go into a new object (option "To new object") or remain inside an original object (when option is off). You can enable drag/move of an object you copy or detach (see options of these tools).

Hi,

Thank you and sorry for not being specific.

In fact I want to make the rigging of 3 mesh (they are the same but with different clothes) and to avoid doing it 3 times the same thing I would like to do it 1 time only and to copy the 2 others

It's possible ?

yet still not quire sure on what exactly you need, but yes, the Create\Copy tool creates an identical copy of a mesh object - it will retain bones weight assignment too.

there is a "Copy material" button in materials browser.
you can assign material by selecting object or polygons; then drag&drop material onto "Scene Selection" entry on the left side of Materials Browser.
