Now select any of the Red nodes to use as your Base point. Choose this wisely to make it easier to position the copied stands. You can always press ESC (Escape) and re-select the Node if required.
You are now in 'move' mode. While you are in this mode, press and hold 'CTRL' on your keyboard to put it into 'Copy' mode.
Now move your mouse/stands into the position you want them and press your mouse button again. Now either make additional copies of your stand by just clicking where you want them, or you can now release the CTRL key to finish copying.
