Copy and paste?

[The_Great_Sephiroth]

Okay, so I know how to select, fill/clear, and do other fun things in the prefab editor, but how do I copy and paste? I want to copy one section of my POI and duplicate it as a second floor and then texture/edit it. I cannot figure out basic copy and paste in the editor though. Is this even possible?

control c to copy
control v to paste

Okay, I finally figured it out. I remembered in DOS it was CTRL+SHIFT+DEL to cut and CTRL+SHIFT+INS to paste. I tried both and they failed, but eventually tried CTRL+SHIFT+V and it works if you press it twice. Hope this helps other POI makers. Again, CTRL+C to copy, but CTRL+SHIFT+V once to paste and move where you want it, then again to finalize it.

I just noticed your reply, stallion. CTRL+V does not paste anything on my end, but CTRL+SHIFT+V does. Can you verify that CTRL+V works for you? When I copy and use CTRL+V I get a big blue outlined box, but it is empty.

No worries ctrl v works. But yes you got to do it twice . First  Ctl v gives the area then ctrl v to paste what you copier

Okay, maybe that's what it was then. CTRL+SHIFT+V actually shows what you are placing in the blue box bounds. The copied structures appear in red.
