You can go in the " Edit /// Duplicate Special" menu. and try the "Assign Unique name to child node". You maya du plicate object with your deformer but cannot keep connection with the first pPlane…

The problem comes when I duplicate the piece of geometry along with all the parented deformers. The new deformers will not affect the geometry that they are parented to. They…
