Is there any similar tool to AutoCad blocks?

Hi everyone!

 

This is an issue that I have run into multiplle times but just went with copy paste, but I am starting to need it more an ore. Is there any way to define a building as a block, so when I have multiple copies I can edit them all just by working on one? 

For example, I am now working on a project with 4 almost identical buildings, the only difference being that one has underground parking and the other 3 only have their foundation in place. I would love to be able to mark all the surface floors (0-2) as a block, so that I don't have to delete 3 buildings, work on the remaining one and then copy paste them back whenever there is a bigger change.

Look into Hotlink Modules.

If you have a support agreement, you may be able to access some free information on the Learn portal.

Of course you also have the reference guide and search many posts here about hotlinks.
