Hello,
I was wandering if it is possible to duplicate an object within a render view without introducing a mesh copy. For example if I have a sphere in my view I would like to duplicate those just at the moment of saving a screenshot without introducing a mesh/data copy. What I do now is loading the mesh “n times” (n is the number of copy I want) and then use the transform filter to move them around.
Is there such a possibility?

Indeed, you can show only one pipeline element in a given view. (4. Displaying data — ParaView Documentation 5.12.0 documentation)
But some pipeline elements are “pass through” and do not perform any copy, like the Pass Arrays filter. Create as much of this filter as you need.
If you really wonder about memory, prefer the Transform display property over the filter (see: 4. Displaying data — ParaView Documentation 5.12.0 documentation)
