'''Copy selected allows you to duplicate selected prims and align them adjacent to each other.''' For example, if you're copying sections of a wall and {{K|Shift}}-dragging to copy is proving tricky to fine-tune, you may want to take advantage of this.
 
To understand how this works, let's use a simple example:
 
# Right-click the ground, and choose '''Create''' on the pie menu.
# Click the ground again to [[rez]] a generic cube.
# From the build tools, select ''Create''' (also found in Tools > Select Tool > Create).
# Check '''Keep Selected''' so we can do the following steps repeatedly.
# Click the '''Copy selected''' checkbox. For now, check '''Center''' and uncheck '''Rotate'''.
# Now, click on the faces of the cube. Each time you do so, the cube is duplicated, aligned edge-to-edge with a previous cube.
 
Since this build tool relies on Second Life's 3D space, watch this video to understand more. Note that it dates from an older version of Second Life where it was "Copy Selection" instead of "Copy selected", but the tool works the same:
