Copying links from another object
You can quickly copy all the links and linking information from an existing Spatial Object to a new object by following this procedure.
To copy links from another object:
- Create or select the Spatial Object (origin object) that you want to copy links into.
- Display this object’s Edit <object name> dialog.
- Click on the Links tab.
-
In the lower pane called Copy Links from Existing Object, click
the
Select Object button.
The Select objects to copy from dialog is displayed.
Using the directory structure, highlight the object whose links you want to copy.
- Click OK to copy the links into the origin object.
When copying groups of objects within the same model or across to a different model, links between pasted objects replicate links between copied objects. This provides a handy method of modelling multiple level buildings by creating the logic for one floor and then generating the models for the additional floors through copying and pasting.
