Copy a storey to top floors

Anonymous
Not applicable
I'm developing the 3D of a G+4 Building. The ground floor is only different in height and look but all the top floors are same, now I've finished the ground floor and the first storey, I want to copy the first storey to the other floors, what is the best/recommended way to copy all first storey elements to other top floors?
Thanks

While you can copy and past to the upper stories.
Another method is to use the Story Settings Box ctrl/cmd+7
1. In the lower part check all the types of elements you want to copy to another story.
2. Create the next story in the upper part by clicking on the Insert Above or Below Button.
3. Now the "Paste Selected Types" button is available. This will copy all those elements to this new story.

-Create the second story and paste the appropriate elements.
-Adjust the heights of any elements that will be different such as walls -From this story paste up to the rest of the upper stories.

Note if you have dimensions that these and other 2D elements can also be copied using this method!
