Copying from many storys at the same time?

Anonymous — Mon, 13 Feb 2006 18:41:32 GMT

Hi. I have a house that has 4 storys.

I want to copy all 4 of the storys and add them to the other 2 parts of the house.

How do I do it without copying each story separately?

I have only worked with archicad for about 2 weeks, so Im a bit lost.

You can use the All-Story marquee to select the wing, then use Copy/Paste to place a copy of the wing. You need to rotate the copy BEFORE you click outside its "paste-marquee".

and the all story marquee is here:

----- this can also be done in 3D:

first GROUP the elements to be copied on each floor plan, select them in a 3D view and drag a copy.....

In your case, marqueeing and Multiply/Rotate with 2 copies and Distribute -1 should do the trick nicely.

You have more confidence in that marquee than I do.

dont forget you can make modules to place in the other areas if they are to be identical. ie update one wing - all wings update.
