Copy-pasting between Design Options

[Alecsander]

Hi,

I work as a landscape architect with multiple design options as I am placing houses for new developments. If I copy a selection and want to paste this into another design option, the pasted elements will automatically appear in the original option. In order to get the new elements as part of a new option, I have to re-import buildings every time. I don't always know that something will end up as a viable design option until I've moved the buildings around a bit, and it's a drag to have to re-import the combination of buildings and re-do the whole design in a different design option over and over.

Is there a way around this?

Operating system used: Windows

You'll have to duplicate it (on the same location)  in the first option and then relink it to the other option. 

Would be nice to have a "copy to another option" button...

Thank you! I see this works with editable elements, but as I have whole hotlinks (whole houses) as my design options, that are uneditable (effectively grouped), I can't relink them. Looks like it might be impossible then?

(An easy copy-paste function of some sort would solve all this though, haha)

Hi Alecsander,

 You can have multiple design options and design options combos set in your module and choose or change those that will be used by the place module in the link options palette of the selected module.

You can also create design options in the host project that apply to the whole module.

No need to reimport the module, only select the copy and change the options in the link options palette.
