[Q] Merge several plans
Hi sweeties! Although my question should not be hard to be answered, I didn't find any solution via FAQ or google. Question: I made plans of several rooms separately. Now, I want to make a new plan "my flat" merging all the single plans into "one" single plan. How this can be done? As a first guess, I marked all objects of a room and copied them into the clipboard. But, creating a new plan (the "big one") opens a new window (instead opening a new plan as a new TAB inside the already running application). Within the new plan, the "paste" option is inactive, so I can't paste the content of the clipboard. Any idea? What I am doing wrong? Any help is appreciated.

On the new plan click on plan window or on furniture list then You could paste what You have in clipboard.

Open the second instance from the first one, with File > Open or File > Open recent, and be sure to give the focus to the plan in the document where you want to paste items.

Re: [Q] Merge several plans
There is a nifty trick as I discovered using it. The opened 2nd instance needs more then one level. If it has 2 levels, I can only copy to level 0. Something I can live with once I know it. I use it as I designed a 4 storey villa. To create the interior with furniture and wallpaper I copy each storey into an extra file. This way my file size stays smaller too.
