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)
