Copying Blocks
Posted: Thu Apr 30, 2020 6:25 pm
Hey guys,
I've seen this long ago but never tried it. Today, I've run into a situation in which it would be convenient to actually use it for once. So can anybody explain a little on how to copy and paste a segment or group of segments? Say I want to copy one part of my level and place the whole thing in another spot to duplicate that spot elsewhere. It seems as of now, I can only do it manually (by building the design again) which is tedious. I tried the Edit > Copy Block option which prompts me to save a file as *.blk. I know there is a way to work it properly, but I don't know why I would have to save it to the hard-drive just to copy it to another spot in the level.
Anyway, I tried it. When I perform the "paste block," I select the same file I saved. The thing is that I can't get it to paste where I want. Sometimes it pastes backwards. I imagine it has something to do with what face is selected when I paste (kind of like how the curve generator works).
So can somebody give a heads up on how to do this?
*Edit: I am going to fidget around with it, so I might figure it out myself, but any answers or advice would be helpful.
Thanks!
