Dear ew0187 ,

You can copy the entire floor using 'Copy selection set' command.
The 'Copy selection set' button is available on the ModelIT toolbar.

Steps to use 'Copy selection set'
1) Choose a appropriate 'View' 'Plan' , 'Left' , 'Right' , 'Top' , 'Left' etc.
2) Select a number of rooms you wish to copy.
3) Click 'Copy selection set' button.
4) Now move the copied rooms to your desired position.

I hope this has been of some help.
If you need any further information please do let me know.
Thanks & Regards ,

Here's how I do it:

1. Select all the rooms you wish to copy
2. Put yourself in 'front' view
3. Click on the button "copy selection set"
4. In the command line, type "dx=0,4.5" where the "4.5" is the floor-to-floor height on the rooms you just copied (and you can make it anything you want, really)
