Feature idea. Copy-paste populations

[archonforest]

I load a population of an object. Now I want another population with the same object somewhere else. It would be great just to click on the population and hit copy and paste and TG will paste the same object population with the same tweaks just next to the original so I can just grab it and move it to the desired location. I would like this option for sure

You can but you have to re-connect the nodes, (Sit on terrain and planet)
Good idea to do it to a disabled population first and then enable the new pop and then move it to you new location ...
or
Copy/paste your population from the node window, re-connect the nodes and then  right click in the preview window, copy coordinates and paste in the coordinates you just copied to the coordinate box of your new population (small icon to the right of the coordinate fields)

hope this helps |:)

I just did this with dandel0's wooden gate closed and made a corner fence. If you rotate the pop you have to re edit the pop but its a fairly fast process if you stick to 10-20 m on a side fences. I didn't disable it before C&P ing it but you have to re pop after re positioning....edit then as well if you're doing a fence like  I did.

Sure this is a great idea actually. Actually I did something like this before. It just would be good to have a copy-paste cycle also. That would be super fast.
