-'''You can {{K|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:
-# Right-click the ground and choose '''Create''' on the pie menu.
-# Click the ground again to [[rez]] a generic cube.
-# Right-click the cube and choose '''Edit'''. The positioning arrows appear.
-# Hold down {{K|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''' ({{K|Ctrl|Z}}) after {{K|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 [[How_to_use_the_building_grid_-_Video_Tutorial|building grid]].
