Hi BLS,

Select the structure--> Edit--> Move

or, using the shapes included in the detail tab, you can draw a rectangle around the structure--> lasso the rectangle and the contents--> point any side of the rectangle and move this set to the desired position

Hope this helps

Apparently I don't understand how to "lasso", and there is no mention of that term in the User's Guide or Help. My structures (especially the house) are too complex for me to be able to accurately select each wall, door, plumbing item, interior design piece, etc., prior to moving. When I draw the rectangle (which I understand to be the "lasso") around the house, nothing is selected. I gather there is something unique about walls. Guess I need more detail about the lasso process. Thanks.

Hi BLS,

Draw a rectangle with the detail tab will not select the elements. I wrote "you can draw a rectangle around the structure--> lasso the rectangle and the contents--> point any side of the rectangle and move this set to the desired position". The rectangle is just a "bag" to move the elements (just to help)

Follow this procedure

In the Floor tab, (or electrical, etc), you will see a small black arrow at the right of the name. By clicking the small arrow you. Just check the names of all the tabs so you'll be sure you are working with all the elements of your project

Image Lasso 1: imagine you've 2 structures in your lot, one with blue furniture and the other with green furniture, and you wish to move the unit with green furniture
1 - Go to the detail tab and draw a rectangle around the structure (in light blue in the image attached)--> this is optional, see item 5
2 - With the mouse create a lasso around the structure and rectangle--> To create a lasso, point the mouse out of the rectangle and pressing the left button--> move the mouse--> a lasso rectangle will be create
3 - After all the elements of your structure and the blue rectangle are inside the lasso (in magenta color in the image Lasso 1)--> release the mouse--> all the elements inside the lasso will be selected--> See image Lasso 2
4 - With all the elements selected--> point one of the sides of the blue rectangle--> click on it with the left button of the mouse and move the selection to the desired position--> See image Lasso 3
5 - After you completed the step # 3--> Edit--> Move--> write the desired distances--> to perform this procedure, you don't need to draw the blue rectangle

Let us know if you need additional help

Works beautifully. Thanks! Punch! may want to consider putting this procedure in the User's Guide and/or "Help".
