In some situations, you may want to "declone" or "free a clone" (i.e., change it to a "normal" element). You can do this by right-clicking on the clone you wish to declone in the graphics pane The primary portion of the GoldSim interface, where the graphical depiction of the model is shown. or a browser An alternative view of a GoldSim model, in which elements are displayed in a tree, and organized either hierarchically, or by type. to access its context menu, and selecting FreeClone.
In either case, the element will be changed into a "normal" element: it will no longer be a clone (and the Clone tab will no longer appear in the properties dialog for the element).
Note that if the element was one of only two clones Sets of elements whose properties change simultaneously when any one member of the set is edited. before it was freed, the other remaining clone would also be automatically freed (since it would have no other clones).
Similarly, if you delete a clone which was one of only two clones before it was deleted, the remaining clone is automatically freed.
