Copy

Copies the selected elements (Family instances, Pipes, Ducts, Flex Pipes, Conduits, Cable Trays, Modelings, Views, Walls, etc…) according to certain origin. A margin is taken into account to find the most appropriate host of the copied elements (this margin can be set in the settings panel). This tool lets you easily copy a completely designed room to another room where the dimensions are slightly different.

If no host is found within the margin, the element is copied unhosted and a warning is shown.

Workflow

  • If you have selected one or more Elements, the tools use these Elements to execute.
  • If you haven’t selected one or more Elements on the same host, you are able to select those Elements when executing the tool.
  • Later, you have to select the origin of the original selected elements. Then select the origin you want to copy the elements to.
  • A transformation is calculated to copy of those elements. All selected Elements are copied according to those transformations.
