QUESTION

I have a cabinet or other item on the first floor, and I want it in the exact same place on the second floor. How can I do this?


ANSWER

You can easily copy and paste objects between floors using the Paste Hold Position tool. 


To copy objects between floors

  1. With at least two floors present in a plan, and the item you wish to copy already placed, select the object and click on the Copy/Paste   edit button.

    Alternatively, you can navigate to Edit> Copy  from the menu.


  2. Click on the Up One Floor   or Down One Floor  button to navigate to a different floor.

    Alternatively, you can navigate to Tools> Floor/Reference Display> Up One Floor   or Down One Floor from the menu.


  3. Navigate to Edit> Paste> Paste Hold Position  and the object will paste in place, keeping the same X and Y coordinates of the copied object.
