Duplicate Room
Jake Johnson
When copying and pasting a room that has wall tile. The duplicated room will not have the wall tile that was in the original room that I tried to duplicate. Being able to copy and paste everything that is in a room would be really helpful.
Thanks

To copy and paste a room with walls you first want to save the room to your 3D Library in the View tab/3D ribbon. Once saved to the 3D library the 3D room can be selected and pasted into your current project or future projects
I believe you have to have walls showing when you select the room and then it will copy, that's been my experience at least. I would prefer that it worked without walls showing though.
Matt, that has not been my experience, but rather you have to have the walls selected along with the floor in order to copy/paste.
David, I understand that is the programmed design, but a simple copy/paste is much more natural. If I had used your method for the past three years my 3D library would be so over populated that I would never find the correct room. Not to mention if i happen to select the wrong 3D room the original products used to create that room would automatically be added to my product list. Now I have to spend time and energy managing my product list.
Like I said a simple copy/paste action is more natural and produces more direct results w/out unwanted side effects. In my opinion it is worth the programming time.
Actually, if you think about it, it is a bit misleading. You want to duplicate the room, but the function doesn't actually do that. I vote with Jake, the wall tile should be part of the copied room.
Why hasn't this been fixed yet? it's been asked for since 2018!! if you are trying to copy say a shower with walls when you expand it, it expands out onto all the other material in the apartment unit. this makes it very difficult to select just the shower room with walls. the worst part is that alot of apartment buildings have the same design on multiple floors. this should be as easy as copying the entire floor and pasting it onto the next floor. but because it doesn't take the walls with the copy, it makes it difficult to deal with. I mean in what situation would you ever want to copy a room but not copy the wall tile? makes no sense...
