    Default Copying 3D objects between .dwg's

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Currently working on a project where I am bringing together several models of buildings we have made into one complete 3D drawing of the entire area. My problem is that when I try to copy objects between windows using basic copy/paste, it doesn't copy the textures and such.

    For example a greenhouse building copies as if all the pillars and windows were made out of glass. A basic brick building renders with solid white exterior. How do I copy objects and all their traits?

    i have never needed to do this so its just a shot in the dark, but can you import the other files into one drawing? Im not sure if it will achieve what you are looking for.
