I am trying to link offshore platforms together. Ex:

A--exit A----enter B-->B--exit B----enter C-->C

However, platform A, B and C are saved as different files. I would like a way to combine these rather than create them again. Is there a way to combine them according to a given height? As in, link the exit and entry point of platforms?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to copy Pathfinder data from one model into another.

Pyrosim has the function of copy and paste, whether can increase the function in  Pathfinder

[Charlie Thornton]

Because of how most objects in Pathfinder "link" together in a very particular way (e.g. room-door), it doesn't lend itself very well to a general purpose copy/paste (e.g. two overlapping doors, you cannot connect both, how to you get them reconnected). In contrast, PyroSim just has a bunch of individual objects floating around, overlapping, etc. We painted ourselves into a corner in this respect because many of the elements you edit in Pathfinder snap in based on surrounding geometry and shipping them around as pieces is nonsensical from the data model's standpoint. We're working on it though. I know that not being able to copy can be very frustrating.

so after a few years, is there a solusion to this problem?

[Bryan Klein]

Yes, we have added in some limited copy/paste support in Pathfinder from one model window to another.
We still have 10 or so issues to resolve for complete implementation, but it is an active work in progress.

Please report to support@thunderheadeng.com if you try this feature and it doesn't work as expected.
