Copying a selection from a floor plan to others

Hi, 

 

I wondered if it was possible to copy a selection of elements from a floor plan to others floor plans in one click, and not by copying/pasting to every other floor plan distinctly. 

I know that I can copy all the beams (for example) from a plan to others, but is there something similar to copy some of the beams ? 

 

Thank you very much.

The Find and Select tool is fairly powerful in selection criteria (and those may also be saved for future use).  Then it’s easier to copy and paste onto other floors.


Some of the other tools (e.g., Grid) may also help you populate some frame elements at the design outset.  Of course, these tools may not account for typical size reductions (i.e., for seismic) as you move up.

If your upper storeys are equally spaced then have a look at the Multiply Tool and the Elevate option. It is located under the menu Edit > Move > Multiply
