I did some testing, here's the reason why I asked,
While creating hundreds of objects using this...
oTopNull.AddGeometry("cone", "MeshSurface");
I clocked it to 6 seconds
But using Duplicate(oCone); took about 25 seconds for the same ammount,
However I took Juans advice and multiduplicated it using
Duplicate(oCone, num) before the loop and I got it down to 10 seconds,
thanks Juan. =)
If there are any faster ways, I'm all ears!
