3D view of copied levels with assigned constructs
When you create a new level, it is empty and has no constructs assigned. After you have assigned constructs to the
level, as described in “
Creating a New Construct ” on page 219, you can copy that level and its constructs within the
building. For example, perhaps you have created a first-floor level and assigned three apartment constructs to it. To
create a second-floor level with exactly the same layout, you can copy and paste the first level with its apartment
constructs and rename it “Second Floor.”

Apartment.”
