Copying Objects - Concepts
The ability to copy objects is of substantial value in the modeling of complex architectural spaces. AGi32 allows you to copy individual or multiple objects to multiple additional locations.
- Copies will retain the original object attributes such as Side Height and color/reflectance. Once an object is copied, its properties can be modified with the Edit Object command.
- Calculation points placed on the object surfaces with the Automatic Placement command are not duplicated with the object when copied. Calculation points can be easily placed on the newly copied objects using the same procedure.
- Any Labeling applied to the object will also be retained, however, if any labels have been moved on the original, they will be returned to their original locations on the copied objects.
- Each object copy will be labeled with the original object name and appended with “ _#” (e.g. _1, _2, etc.) For example, if objectABC is copied twice, the first copy will be labeled objectABC_1, the second objectABC_2.
- The selected object will be displayed using the Selected Entity Color (default color is gray). The Selected Entity Color may be changed in the Defaults tab of the System Settings dialog.
