edit paste
< Previous: Copy | Next: Paste in Place >
Drop what is on the clipboard back into the model.
Menu: Edit > Paste | In depth: Duplicate, detach & ownership
Paste drops the copies in beside the originals, in a folder of their own. They are independent from the moment they land: moving the originals afterward does not move them.
The construction comes with them, hidden if the original's was hidden. So if you had tidied the scaffolding out of sight before copying, the copy arrives tidy too instead of putting it all back on screen.
The copies arrive selected, ready to drag where you want them.
Shortcut: Cmd-V, or Ctrl-V on Windows.
< Previous: Copy | Next: Paste in Place >
- Copy: what fills the clipboard in the first place.
- Paste in Place: the same, laid exactly over the originals.
