You can Shift ⇧-drag to copy an object you have permission to copy. This isn't obviously stated in the build tools but is a popular way to copy objects. Here's a simple example:

1. Right-click the ground and choose Create on the pie menu.
2. Click the ground again to rez a generic cube.
3. Right-click the cube and choose Edit. The positioning arrows appear.
4. Hold down Shift ⇧, left-click one of the arrow heads, and drag the object. You're dragging the original, and a copy is left behind at the original location.

Tips

• If you use Edit > Undo (Ctrl+Z) after Shift ⇧-dragging an object, the original snaps back to its original position — a creative use of selective Undo. You can do this to align it another way.
• If you're having problems aligning copies edge-to-edge, enable the building grid.
