Designing a bracelet
Repeat a group of pieces
Copy a run of consecutive pieces several times in a row, as one undo step.
Who it is for
Anyone editing a design in this browser.
Before you start
- A design open for editing (not a public design or one open in another tab).
- The group uses only public materials: no “My bead”, author’s bead or “To choose” positions.
Repeat a group
- Select a piece of the group on the ring.
- Press “Repeat a group from this piece”.
- Set “From position” and “To position” (1 is the top, then clockwise). Both start at the selected piece.
- Enter “Total groups”. The group itself counts: 3 keeps it and adds two more right after it.
- Check the preview of the group and how many pieces it adds, then press “Repeat”. Cancel or Esc changes nothing.
What the copies are
The copies are placed right after the group and the other pieces keep their order. They are ordinary pieces: no pattern is remembered, so later edits change only the piece you edit. One Undo removes all copies.
What you will see
- A notice such as “Repeated positions 3–5: 3 groups in total, 6 pieces added.”
- The new pieces on the ring and in the order list.
Limits
- The whole repeat is refused, with nothing changed, when the positions are outside the design or the first is after the last, the total is not a whole number of 2 or more, the group has a “My bead”, author’s bead or “To choose” piece, or the result would pass 150 pieces.
