Scott, 

Extending this further, I’d then like to be able to place the newly created sibling at a specified location in the container/playfield.  Since it’s so close to Squeakfest, you can wait and educate me in person if you want.  I did see there was also an “include at cursor” tile on the Playfield which I’m assuming would be used to do this placement, but not sure how I might use it successfully.

Hi, Randy,

Yes, it's called "copy", and it can be found in the "miscellaneous" category.

When you execute "Car's copy", you'll end up with a sibling of Car.

However, if you don't *place* it somewhere, you won't see it.  The standard idiom for placing an object somewhere via script is to tell the *container* in which you place it to "include" it.

Look in the "collections" category of the container's viewer for various ways to "include" an object

Here's a typical usage pattern:

Cheers,

Is there a tile to create a sibling of an obj?  Given that a search on
'sibling' only turned up 1 tile, I'm guessing not.  But it'd sure be nice!
