How do I Copy and Paste Furniture, Doors, Windows or Stairs?

  • Updated

Need to duplicate an item in the RoomSketcher App? This article explains how to quickly duplicate objects in your project using simple copy and paste commands.

How Do I Copy and Paste Items?

It’s quick and easy — just follow these three simple steps:

  1. Select the item you want to copy.
  2. Click on the mceclip0.png copy symbol in the top menu - or press CTRL/CMD + C on your keyboard.
  3. Click on the mceclip1.png insert symbol in the top menu - or press CTRL/CMD + V on your keyboard. 

Your copied item will appear in the middle of your project. Select and drag it to your preferred place.

You can also copy an object, then open another project and paste it there.

 

Tips for Copying and Pasting Windows and Doors

  • Windows and doors: Once you have pasted a window or door, drag it onto a wall - if you don't place it on a wall, it will disappear again.

  • Make sure the wall is at least as long as your window or door; otherwise, you won't be able to place it there.

     

What About Resized and Changed Items?

  • If you have resized the item, the copied item will have the exact same properties.

  • Any custom color or material you’ve applied to an item will be included when you copy and paste it.

     

What About Walls?

Please note that walls cannot be copied and pasted in RoomSketcher. The copy and paste buttons in the top toolbar, as well as the keyboard shortcuts Ctrl/Cmd + C and Ctrl/Cmd + V, do not work for walls.

This is because walls are connected to the surrounding floor plan and help define rooms, corners, and measurements. Copying an individual wall could create overlapping or incorrectly connected walls and affect the room structure.

To create a similar wall, go to Walls mode to draw a new wall, then adjust its length, thickness, and position as needed.
 

Can I Copy all Walls, Windows and Doors? Or Only all Furniture of the Project?

If you want to copy all walls, windows, and doors at once, you can create a new level and choose to copy the existing floor plan without furniture. This is useful if you want:

  • a clean version of the same layout
  • to try different furniture options
  • to keep the original design unchanged.

You can also copy the existing floor plan with furniture and then delete or replace any unwanted furniture.
