Title: [Resolved] How to copy objects?
Post by: Nico RVArq.com on December 13, 2010, 11:12:36 am

Hi, I didn´t find the copy paste tool, and I hope that in "Lumion devblog 20.000 birds" you didn´t click 20 thousand times the bird, or isn´t?? Jeje

Thanks.

It seems to me that there is unnecessary tool copy paste you choose a bird and click on 20.000 thousand times. Although I doubt you might need as many birds in a scene.

ALT + Drag is copy paste.

 

So paint 20 birds randomly ALT + DRAG gives you 40 etc this will get you 20.000 birds. Note that you should only do this with the smallest bird else you go out of memory.

Thank you. The birds was an comparission. It´s more for a parking car with a lot of cars.

Is there a way to copy this objects but aligned?

I've tried with some cars using the alt+drag tool, but I can't seem to align them

Thanks a lot :)

Hi piper76

Two options:
1. Select the objects and then use the Context Menu -> Transform -> Align.
2. Place objects aligned using the Mass Placement Tool.

And, if you have some objects aligned, you can then use the Alt + Move copy keyboard shortcut to copy  to new sets of aligned objects.
