Copy DB structure into a new DB

Hello,
I would like to copy the structure of a DB (tables,relations, indexes,
default values, ecc...) into a new DB on the same server.
I don't want to copy the data in the tables. Is this possible? How?
Thank you very much
Bye1. Right click on your source database in Enterprise Manager-->All
Tasks-->Generate SQL Scripts.
2. You can then choose what objects you need to be scripted (lots of options).
3. Create your destination db.
4. Run the generated script.

Choose the "Copy objects and data between SQL Server databases"
Here is the key... on the next screen, uncheck "Copy Data"

anytime soon?
