In many buildings the various floor types are similar. The program has a feature for copying information from one level type to another. The feature only works when you have a blank level type current.

• Select Layout > Type > Select.
• Highlight the Level called 3rd and Click [Select].

The graphics view is altered to show you the 3rd floor type. At this time, there is nothing on this floor type.

It is completely blank at this time. In the menu bar at the top of the modeler, you’ll notice that the current level type has changed from 2nd to 3rd. This pull down menu is the quickest way to switch from level to level.

• Select Layout > Type > Copy.
  
• Under Copy From highlight 2nd.
• Under Select Items check All.
• Click [OK].

The 3rd level will now be an exact duplicate of the 2nd floor. Any changes made from this point on will be to one level only. We will copy to the Typical and Roof floor types later.
