Copy an Object to Another Floor
A building's foundation, walls of different floors, floors,
ceilings, roof, etc. are added in their own drawing-model pairs. If
necessary, you can copy objects from the active drawing-model pair
to another drawing-model pair of the same project. If, for example,
the exterior walls of a building are similar on both the first and
second floors of the building, you can copy the walls of the first
floor to the floor plan of the second floor.
Connections to other building components are also copied, if the
connecting structures are equivalent in the floors.
- Activate the drawing-model pair in which the objects to be
copied are.
- Select one or more objects.
- Right-click to open the context-sensitive menu.
- Select Advanced > Copy to Another Floor.
- Select the drawing-model pair to which you want to copy the
objects. Click the button of the drawing-model pair in a button
menu. You will be prompted: "Leave this drawing-model pair active?"
The question refers to the drawing-model pair to which you are
copying the objects.
- Do either of the following:
- If you want to work in the drawing-model pair to which you are
copying the objects, select Yes.
- If you want to work in the drawing-model pair from where you
selected the objects, select No.
Note
- The height of the objects in relation to the absolute origin
will change. The objects are located in the new drawing-model pair
so that their height in relation to the floor base height remains
the same as in the original drawing-model pair.
- The panels and panel parts on the floor are also copied to the
corresponding drawing-model pair of a frame. For example, when you
copy the first floor walls to the second floor, the wall panels and
panel parts are also copied to the 2nd floor wall framing
drawing-model pair. The panels are re-labeled. If the panels have
been named according to the floor, the name of the floor will be
updated in the panel label. For example, the panel 1E1 will be
renamed as 2E1, etc.
- When you want to copy a flat to another
drawing-model pair, use the function Copying a Flat.
