Copying elements on different stories

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi,

maybe it's a stupid question, but I'm having troubles with copying elements (they are a part of hotlinked module) from one story to another. When I copy the elements from let's say 1.story, and paste it to 2.story, the elements are copied to 0.story. I just don't get it Any information would be helpfull.

I tried to draw from the beginning, and I noticed that if elements (in my case Walls) are not hotlinked I can copy them normally. But when I save them (all together) as module, the problem appears. Are there any options avaliable for modules?

You can't copy the pieces of a module. However, you can alt/option click on an element and then either place a new instance of the element for a library part or as in the case of a wall, start to draw a new one.

If, on the other hand you are wanting to change the module with the new element then select all the module elements and either overwrite the module or create a new one.
