============
The feature **Angular copy** makes a compound of several rotated shapes basing on the initial shape.

The following property panel appears.
Input fields:
-- **Main objects** panel contains shapes to be rotated. Shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
-- **Vector of rotation** defines the axis of rotation. Vector is edge, axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
+- **Main objects** panel contains shapes to be rotated. The shapes are selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
+- **Vector of rotation** defines the axis of rotation. The vector of rotation is an edge, axis selected in 3D OCC viewer or object browser;
- **Angular Step** check-box turns on/off definition of the angle by which the object is rotated. By default (if the checkbox is not checked), **Angular Step** = 2 * PI / NbTimes;
- **Nb. Copies** defines the number of rotated shape copies in the resulting compound. If **Nb. Copies** = 1, the result contains only the initial shape.
-**TUI Command**: *model.addMultiRotation(Part_doc, [shape], axis, step, Nb)*
+**TUI Command**:
