    Default 1st floor to 2nd

    Hello,

    I am working on a multifunctional building, and so far i built 1st floor. The second floor is identical to the 1st one. I have a question, if it is possible to copy all the walls of the first floor to the second, since i have used some types of walls, and i didnt want to construct 'em from the beginning.

    Thank you

    You can select all the walls and copy them to the clipboard (CTRL+C) and then Paste > Aligned to Selected Levels and choose level 2.
    Before you do this I would suggest the following;
    1. Make sure you have a third level in your project and that the distance between level 1 and 2 is the same as the distance between level 2 and 3.
    2. Make sure the base constraint for all your level 1 walls are set to level 1 and top constraint are set to level 2
    This will ensure that all walls are associated with a level at the base and top and their height can be changed by changing the level datums.

    you can create a block using the internal or external command block using the command WBLOCK * which I recommend, because your design will lead to manipulation. it is the only call the block with the command insert files. before creating the block to apply all materials like, so that the block is defined with the material to be used. create layers tips to better manage every wall, if it is applied differently in each wall. or deeper still have other means. Always good night. hugs.
