Is there any similar tool to AutoCad blocks?

Hi everyone!

This is an issue that I have run into multiplle times but just went with copy paste, but I am starting to need it more an ore. Is there any way to define a building as a block, so when I have multiple copies I can edit them all just by working on one?

For example, I am now working on a project with 4 almost identical buildings, the only difference being that one has underground parking and the other 3 only have their foundation in place. I would love to be able to mark all the surface floors (0-2) as a block, so that I don't have to delete 3 buildings, work on the remaining one and then copy paste them back whenever there is a bigger change.

Look into Hotlink Modules.

If you have a support agreement, you may be able to access some free information on the Learn portal.

For example ...

Of course you also have the reference guide and search many posts here about hotlinks.
