To copy fixtures individually
To select multiple fixtures, on the Options Bar, select Multiple. Then select the fixtures in the drawing area, and click Finish on the Options Bar.
You can use a selection box and a filter to select fixtures in the linked model. See Select Elements Using a Filter.
To copy fixtures in batch mode
The software copies fixtures whose copy behavior is Allow batch copy using the defined type mapping settings, if the fixtures have not already been copied to the MEP model.
When you select a copied fixture in the current model, the monitor icon displays next to the fixture, indicating that it has a relationship with the original fixture in the linked model.
If copied fixtures are moved, changed, or deleted in the linked model, you are notified of the changes when you open the current model or reload the linked model. These warnings also display in a coordination review.
