You now have everything set up for the first original copy of our “little guys” element.
The next step is to make a copy of all the nodes for this element, and paste four or
more copies to populate the composite.

To make copies of the elements:

1

In the Node View, select both the mitosis_group node and the Over1 node.

Note: To collapse the mitosis_group node, click the Expand/Collapse button on the
right side of the group header.

2

Right-click in the Node View, then choose Edit > Copy from the shortcut menu.
