Copy and Paste

Allow the user to copy and paste all heating and cooling installation. alt text alt text

Note! Native Revit “Copy” and “Paste” functions will not work properly for elements created by the UFH Revit Plug-in. Therefore, it is extremely important to use these functions from the UFH Revit Plug-in.

The user has two options for copying elements: In the Same View and Between Views. The user does not have to copy all installation elements. To maintain the connection between the installation, user should copy at least the manifold with floors and connectors. Pasting copied installation to new spaces will automatically assign them to new spaces. Newly created pipe systems will have a name updated to the new manifold name. alt text

    • Paste from Clipboard – the user can open suitable view and paste copied elements to the indicated place. alt text

    • Aligned to Selected Levels – the user can choose which levels the selected elements should be copied to. Note! If Select Level window does not open after clicking Aligned to Selected Levels, it is likely because selection includes one of elements that cannot be copies to another level, for example: dimensions, detail lines, notes or room tags. alt text

    • Aligned to Current View – the user can open suitable view and paste copied elements to the accurate place.
