# Duplicate Skeletal Mesh

Duplicate a Skeletal Mesh. It duplicates, cloth, physics and LOD data. Morph Targets are not transferred to the duplicate.

{% hint style="info" %}
This functionality is available only for UE 5.2 and above
{% endhint %}

Useful to instance skeletal mesh before applying Standalone Morph Targets.
