Create a volume of by adding it to a Plotter and then copy the volume.

>>> import pyvista as pv
>>> mesh = pv.Wavelet()
>>> pl = pv.Plotter()
>>> volume = pl.add_volume(mesh, diffuse=0.5)
>>> new_volume = volume.copy()

Change the copy’s properties. A deep copy is made by default, so the original volume is not affected.

>>> new_volume.prop.diffuse = 1.0
>>> new_volume.prop.diffuse
1.0

>>> volume.prop.diffuse
0.5
