Copy and paste objects in a level

Add common objects throughout your project by copy and pasting level objects in the current level or to other levels.

Tip: You can also paste level objects to a text editor to view its json data.

To cut/copy objects:

  1. Select the object or multiple objects either in the Level Viewport or in the tree view of the Explorer panel.
  2. Copy the objects using any of the following methods:

    • Right-click in the Explorer panel and select Cut or Copy.
    • Right-click the selected object in the Level Viewport and select Cut or Copy from the contextual menu.
    • Select objects in the Level Viewport or Explorer and in the Edit menu, select Cut (Hotkey: Ctrl + X) or Copy (Hotkey: Ctrl + C).

To paste objects in the current level:

  1. Right-click either in the Level Viewport or the Explorer panel to select Paste or select Edit > Paste (Hotkey: Ctrl + V) to paste the objects in the viewport. Objects are pasted at the same position and rotation of the copied objects.

    Note: Objects are pasted around the cursor position if there is a raycast hit on objects. This works only if pasting from the Level Viewport contextual menu or with hotkey Ctrl + V, and does not work from the Explorer panel.

To paste objects in another level:

  1. Save any changes in the current level, then copy the objects that you want to paste.
  2. Open the level (Ctrl + O) where you want to paste the level objects.
  3. Right-click either in the Level Viewport or the Explorer panel to select Paste, or press Ctrl + V. The objects are pasted in the same position as the objects copied from the other level.
