How to use duplicate() to optimize in M3G?

Question

The first version of my 3D world contains about 7 meshes. They all have the same form and geometry, so I figured I could use duplicate() to improve the performance. I mean creating only one mesh and then use duplicate() on that first mesh to create the other ones. The 7 meshes have different textures, so they need to have their own appearances.
I found that it is not possible to use duplicate() to optimize in my case , since the meshes have their own appearance object. When I change the appearance of one mesh, the appearance of the duplicated meshes get changed too. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Hi Sandy ,
You can approach this way ,
Create a page with different EO , VO
Step 1 : If the records are displayed in table region then you can add one more column with the item style as " Link " .
( your desintaion URI should be OA.jsp?page=/<yourname>/oracle/apps/ak/employee/webui/EmpDetailsPG&employeeNumber={@EmployeeId} )
Step 2 : You can get the same record in the next screen by executing the query by passing the parameter in where clause .
In processRequest , order of code execution should be
a ) Create a blank row for VO
b) generate new Sequence value and execute the query by passing the parameter in where clause
In processFormRequest ()
Make changes if needed and do Transaction.commit() ;
Though it looks like an updating record , but in database you will find an additional record being created .
Try and do let me know if its not clear
