Re: Copy / paste furniture stopped working after upgrade to 5.3
must be this second operation that may be too long, and I wonder if I shouldn't make it work differently, at least with a waiting screen.
It makes sense that could be the reason. I could be wrong, but it seems that the larger the area (in m²) that is copied, the longer it takes. Tried some more:
- a simple lake <3KB .obj scaled to 10000×6000cm took very long,
- copying the entire terrain level 10000×10000cm appeared to not work at all,
- while a small room with lots of furniture was reasonably quick.
I think, btw, that Ceciliabr has mentioned something similar in a previous thread discussing landscapes and perspectives.

However, I hasten to add that the extra image that can be pasted into other software is very clever. For anyone wanting to present a project, pasting the plan images is super convenient. So personally, I would rather suffer slow copying than loose picture generation altogether. Maybe:
- waiting screen,
- toggle image-function on-off,
- warning when copying large areas (similar to texture import),

Feature request (817) submitted - even if it is probably not very important (What is priority 1? Highest or lowest? I never dare change the priority as it may seem impatient... ). Also saved example file should you need to test it. ok
