- Click on the Also copy volumes stored outside the project directory check box to copy volumes external to the project.
- Select the Copy horizons/Images check box to include all the horizons and images from your project in the clone project.
- When you are ready, click Create Copy to clone your project.
- A notice will appear to confirm that the copy has been created at the path you specified.
