Step 3: Delete any entities, scenes, materials, that you don’t want to duplicate. Step 1: Save-as your drawing that has all the Layers you want to duplicate. I am working in Sketchup 2021…so if you are in an older version these steps may not work. I think I might have figured out a workaround… slightly time-consuming but still easier than making all new layers… and you might be able to utilize the template we’ll create on future jobs. It maybe exist a simpler way to do that, but wouldn’t be nicer to simply have a right click function “duplicate layer”, on the layer window? Then again I have to put back in the original position the contents of Upper Cabinet VS1.0 layer, so then I will be able to compare the 2 design just switching the views in between layers VS1.0 and VS2.0. Now the only way (that i know) is to select and copy all the objects that I need to duplicate ( making sure not to copy some adjacent objects), create a new layer, physically moving away all the original objects in the source layer (for example 200" along one of the axis), paste in place, selecting and move all the objects in the new layer ( Upper Cabinet VS2.0).Īt this point I have a copy of all my upper cabinet in a new layer and I can start to modify to my likely. Then let’s say I want to produce a couple of more upper cabinets designs starting from the first one. I have the floor cabinets in one layer and the wall (upper) cabinets in a separate layer (ex: layer “ Upper Cabinet VS1.0”). Is there any way to duplicate a layer and its content, the same way is possible for example in Photoshop?
