How to copy set (walls and props) from one scene to another?

Would like to copy walls, doors, windows, furniture, etc from one scene into another. Is that possible?

Hi,

There unfortunately isn’t a good way to do that, mostly because of a lack of imagination when the data model for the app was originally made, making it unusually tricky. We’re hard at work on a much bigger 3D version, and this has much more modern data models.

I just duplicate a scene by saving it as a new one and then delete the camera and light info before working on the same layout

Hi Simon,

Just confirming that this is the correct answer for now. The current 2D Shot Designer is starting to show its age, and there’s no copy/paste between documents, mostly because it wasn’t imagined and then turned out to be technically difficult once it was finally imagined.

But saving a scene without animation removed is usually everything you need. Then you can start from this scene every time you’re in that location, and immediately save under a new name. There’s also a way in the app to save templates, but just manually saving as is actually easier.
