We will get copy of Site 1 as Site 2.Working%20with%20Design%20explorer img 3 Working with Design explorer

There is other much easier way to make copy of site. Select site, press CTRL+C, and select World and CTRL-V. Third way to copy is the easiest way. Select required Site and pressing CTRL and left mouse button move to World site till black line will appear (see below) and drop. While this process you will see near cursor object +.

If selected site has no name, new one will be renamed as Site 2. If name is different so to name will be added prefix copy-of-name of copied element.

Of course possible create new site and zone with all equipments and do same selections of options. In this case we will lose a lot time. This is only wasting of time.

Using same ways possible to copy Zones and equipments.

Changing branch head and tail location (connecting to first and last members)

Sometimes needed to change route, location and components of branch. Below is condition when after moving tail of branch happened mismatching in route and connection last member and head of pipe is changed to dashed line. It means there are some problems.
